During their interaction with the Col Mahan Singh, the villagers put forth their main demands regarding road connectivity, drinking water supply and poor mobile connectivity. Expressing his serious concern over the far flung areas craving for development, the DDC Chairman held the public representatives of yesteryears responsible for the same accusing them of having failed to address the public issues despite being in power for about seven decades.
