The repair and maintenance of roads in Kangra district has been adversely affected because of the non-availability of sand and crushed bajri following the closure of stone crushers.
The monsoon is over, but the Public Works Department is yet to take up the work to repair roads damaged in the recent floods.
The state government closed stone crushers after flashfloods in August but it failed to make alternative arrangements for the supply of construction material. Not only roads, but also the housing industry is facing a crisis as no construction material is available anywhere.
