Artificial lake forms near Parchhu bridge in Himachal; locals demand action to mitigate flooding



MLA of Dharampur Chandrashekhar told TNIE that two months back he had written a letter to project director of MORTH regarding dumping of muck in Parchhu Khad and poor condition of approaches of Parchhu bridge. “I am writing to bring to your attention the pressing concerns regarding the ongoing widening of NH 70 near Parchhu Bridge, being executed by M/s Gawar Construction Company. The contractor’s decision to dump a substantial amount of muck and material into Parchoo Khad for bridge construction has raised serious apprehensions, particularly with the monsoon season approaching,” read the letter.It further stated, “Given the historical data indicating significant water flow in the khad during monsoons, the dumped material poses a considerable risk of devastation to the surrounding areas if not removed promptly.””Further, the approach road to Parchhu Bridge is in a deplorable condition, which becomes treacherous during the rainy season, disrupting connectivity to the Dharampur area and impacting public and emergency services. In light of the above, I earnestly request that immediate action be taken to remove the muck from Parchhu Khad before the monsoon to prevent potential disasters,” it added.
