Awaiting metalled road

RESIDENTS of Basa-Kanoti village in the Dol gram panchayat in Jawali subdivision have been waiting for a metalled road for the past two decades. The 1.5 km-long kachha road connecting this remote village with the metalled road was built 20 years ago. Residents are facing a lot of inconvenience as the road connectivity gets affected during the monsoon season. A temporary culvert built across the Basa khud by the Public Works Department also gets washed away during the monsoon every year, forcing villagers to cross the flooded khud risking their lives. The state government should redress this problem. — Bakil Singh and Hakam Singh, residents of Basa-Kanoti, Jawali

No potable water

Residents of Karsha village under the Behna panchayat in Kullu district have been facing an acute shortage of potable water for the past few days. The source from where the Irrigation and Public Health Department was providing the supply to the villagers has dried up. Until the problem is fixed, the IPH Department should make alternative arrangements to provide potable water to residents. Without the water supply, it is getting very difficult to manage our daily routine. — Bharat Bhushan, resident, Karsha village, Kullu
