Dr Sharma while speaking said that due to landslides many houses have suffered complete or partial damages which has affected around 20 families, besides around 1 km of road has been damaged due to which Baggan and Loimalhar villages have lost link with tehsil and district headquarters.
Manohar requested the administration to rehabilitate the displaced families to safer places on immediate basis and provide them with ration and other essential commodities as they are facing problems of movement also due to existing lockdown.
