A week after a flash flood swept away vehicles and caused major damage in tourist hub Bhagsunag, the Dharamsala Municipal Corporation has slapped notices on encroachers who have raised structures close to a natural drain.
Mayor Onkar Nehria said people had constructed small bridges and parking lots, thus narrowing the seasonal drain. “Had these illegal structures not come up, the water would have gushed through the drain’s original course. It, however, diverted onto nearby lanes, sweeping along cars and whatever came its way. The illegal structures acted as a blockade,” he said.
The Mayor said the encroachers had been asked to demolish their illegal structures on their own or else the MC would have to do it.

The BJP today grabbed the posts of both Mayor and Deputy Mayor of the Dharamsala Municipal Corporation (MC). Interestingly, BJP councillor Onkar Nehria was unanimously elected as Mayor as the Congress did not contest the election against him. Onkar is the former Deputy Mayor of Dharamsala and won from McLeodganj.
Sarav Chand Galotia, a BJP rebel, who had won as an Independent from the Sidhpur ward, was elected as Deputy Mayor. Former Mayor Davinder Jaggi filed his nomination for the post of Deputy Mayor but got just six votes whereas Galotia got 11 votes.
The BJP had won eight out of 17 wards in the Dharamsala MC elections whereas the Congress had won five wards. Four Independents, two Congress rebels and two BJP rebels, had also won.
