The residents of Dhar Kandi village located about 10 km from Dharamsala today sat on a dharna outside the office of DC Kangra and raised slogans against the government. The residents, including a large number of women, are demanding that the road link to their area should be restored at the earliest.
Sushma Devi, one of the protestors, alleged that the road link to about 18 villages in Dhar Kandi area was washed away in landslides that struck the region on July 12. The authorities have not been able to restore the link to the region so far. She alleged that several residents are also without power and water.
