What happened
A 20km road connecting more than 5,000 villagers in the border areas of Bageshwar and Pithoragarh districts remains incomplete nearly two decades after construction began. Several stretches of the Dharamghar-Chucher-Majkhet-Lathi road have been damaged by successive monsoons, and some sections have narrowed significantly. Ambreesh Rawat, the PMGSY executive engineer, noted that the road was transferred from the public works department in 2012.

Why it matters
The poor condition of the road prevents essential services, such as school buses and LPG delivery vehicles, from reaching certain villages. Residents have protested the road's condition, citing repeated complaints to the administration with little relief.
