Disaster-affected communities across Himachal raise alarming concerns at People’s Public Hearing in Mandi

Shimla, Nov 15 (UNI) At a day-long People’s Public Hearing held at Saksharta Bhavan, Mandi, on Saturday, more than 70 disaster-affected residents from Mandi, Kangra, Kullu, Kinnaur, Lahaul and other regions gathered to present their grievances before a seven-member civil society panel.
Organised as part of a broader two-day programme involving grassroots organisations from across Himachal Pradesh, the hearing offered a rare public platform for affected communities to speak directly about loss, exclusion, and the systemic gaps that continue to deny them justice.
Participants shared deeply personal testimonies of loss: damaged homes, devastated farmland, wiped-out livelihoods, destroyed roads, unsafe settlements, and fractured futures.
