Slow pace of NH construction irks locals
The slow speed of construction of the national highway (Atari-Manali section) between Hamirpur and Sarkaghat has added to the woes of villagers as the construction company is violating construction norms.
It is learnt that the company rarely sprays water on the road and the dust enters houses and shops of the nearby areas. Raj Kumar, a resident of Thana Drogan village, near here, said the villagers had requested the construction company to properly spray water on the road to control the dust but it did not pay heed to their request. He said the dusty environment was causing breathing problems to the residents of the area.
