Kumaon Briefs
Roads closed: A heavy snowfall across Kumaon has led to the closure of several roads. Inclement weather conditions have also hit the daily supply of essentials in the region. The water and power supplies in the region have also been badly hit. A major part of Nainital town continues to be in darkness even after 24 hours of the power supply having been disrupted. Since there is no power, water cannot be pumped to the higher reaches of the town. Officials say efforts are on to resume power supply to the town. Schools to remain closed till Jan 12:
The Nainital administration has ordered the closure of schools across the district till January 12. The decision has been taken keeping in view the existing cold wave conditions. Officials of the Education Department have been asked to ensure that there is no violation of the orders given by District Magistrate Nidhi Mani Tripathi. The authorities have been asked to deal strictly with the schools violating the orders. It has been stated that while children would not be going to school, official work in the schools would continue all this while. Shortage of LPG cylinders:
Haldwani residents are once again facing a crisis with regard to the availability of cooking gas. The people of areas like Dahariya and Unchapul are agitated over having to wait for days together to get an LPG cylinder. They say that they have to waste hours together in the hope of procuring a gas cylinder which has become a prized possession. Losing their patience over the state of affairs, a large number of people also blocked a road on Monday afternoon. (Compiled by Rajeev Khanna)
