Dateline Uttarkashi: Harish Thapliyal, representative of the Chinyali Saur development block and a resident of Neri village, Uttarakashi met Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to submit an appeal demanding the construction of a bridge near Tulyada village.
In the letter submitted to the Chief Minister, Harish Thapliyal said that due to the absence of a bridge near Tulyada village, hillfolks of around twenty villages in the area were facing difficulties in commuting. For years, rock-slip and landslides on the Pirada hill-slope adjoining the Tulyada village on the Dharasu-Jogat motor road had plagued the region. Every monsoon, the situation worsens making it impossible for the old, infirm and school going students to commute without risking their lives. In the past, many people have lost their life due rockfall in the area.
Representing his village, Harish Thapliyal requested the Chief Minister to grant approval for a bridge construction keeping in mind the public interest. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami took the matter seriously and assured that the concerned department would examine the proposal and take necessary action.
Welcoming this initiative, the hill folks from the region, expressed relief and hope that the construction of the bridge will accelerate the development of the area and will solve the long-standing problem of the villagers.
