Tanda village in Ropar block is hardly 35 km from the state capital, but has no road connectivity. The 2-km dirt track that connects the village with the Purkhali-Bardar road remains inundated during the monsoon, leaving this sub-mountainous area inaccessible as two choes fall on the section.
Residents say their pleas to politicians as well as officials over the decades have failed to yield result. So much so that they have now stopped making efforts to get a metalled road constructed.
