It may be hard to imagine in this time and age, but a village in Bandipora just 15 kilometers from the district headquarter is without electricity, potable water supply, mobile phone connectivity and a proper road connection to the outside world.
Residents of Chandaji village are forced to live a primitive lifestyle without the very basic amenities and must walk around six kilometers along the hilly terrain to reach the closest habitation or a road head.
The villagers suffer abject neglect having fallen off the government’s radar for far too long.
The Chandaji villagers say that though construction of the road to the village was started a couple of years ago but it was left midway within a few months for reasons best known to state authorities.
