Residents of remote Uttarakhand village to boycott LS polls over non-construction of road

Gopeswar (Uttarakhand): The villagers of Dumak in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district have decided to boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha polls over the non-construction of a vital road linking the village with the district headquarters for which they have been agitating for four decades.

Whenever elections are round the corner, the villagers renew their poll boycott call in the hope of getting their long-standing demand fulfilled. Construction agencies rush equipment to the village raising their hopes, but those are withdrawn as soon as the elections are over.

Dumak hosts one of the remotest polling stations in Chamoli district.
