No land record, riverbeds usurped in Himachal

The Fact News Service

Dharamsala, July 17

Multi-storeyed buildings collapsing into swollen rivers has become a common sight whenever Himachal encounters torrential rain for three-four days at a stretch. The risk to life and property notwithstanding, people continue to construct illegal structures either on the beds of rivers or too close to their banks. No specific revenue record to demarcate the boundary of riverbeds is said to be main reason behind the unlawful practice.

The issue is back to focus after the recent widespread devastation caused by the raging Beas in Kullu and Mandi. Several such buildings have come up on the beds of Charan, Manjhi and Gajj rivers in Kangra and the Swan in Una.
