The Chamba District Vikas Jan Manch has demanded immediate restoration of roads, power and water supply in the areas cut-off from the main district in the aftermath of heavy snowfall and rain.
Addressing mediapersons here on Thursday, Bhuvaneshwar Sharma, convener of the manch, said that several areas of Bharmour, Pangi, Churah and non-tribal panchayats were still cut-off from the mainland as roads were covered with heavy snow.
Electricity supply continued to remain disrupted in many snowbound areas and in the absence of electricity it had become difficult for students to prepare for the forthcoming annual examinations. Mobile phones were also not working, he said.
