In a statement issued here today, he said people in this far-flung and remote area are facing many hardships due to callousness of the Government.

He said in Mandal area of Kuntwara the house of Sain Dass, son of Sant Ram has been damaged by landslide but no body came to assess the loss. He said the R&B Department has constructed road beneath the residential houses in the area due to which there is apprehension of the land erosion. The other houses facing the threat due to caving in of land beneath belong to Lekh Raj son of Shri Lal of Salana, Vidya Lal son of Gosani Ram and Om Raj son of Jodha Ram all of Salana. The people have shifted their all luggage and goods from their residential houses in the area.
Tara Chand alleged that the area has been totally neglected by the successive Governments and people are facing a miserable life as no attention has been paid to construct bridges, roads and other developmental infrastructure in the area.
