Residents of Sunda village in Shimla district have demanded that they be resettled in safer locations since their houses have suffered considerable damage and some even developed cracks following intense rain last month.

Many people continue to live with their relatives while others are lodged in the government school since their houses have become unsafe. “My house has been damaged and the government has given Rs 5,000 as relief, which is too little,” said Japti Devi, a resident of Sunda village.
