According to the statement issued by the MlA, the hilly region of Mussoorie in Dehradun had also been affected by the heavy rain which had wreaked disaster in different parts of the State. last Sunday, following heavy rain across the State the roads to many villages in the Mussoorie constituency area had been damaged due to landslide. A total of 19 roads have been affected in the Dehradun district, of which Serki Silla and Serki Kyara roads are also affected completely. Acting swiftly, the department was able to reopen the Serki Silla road on a temporary basis but the Serki Kyara road has still remained completely damaged near Fulet village. As a result of this, there is no way for vehicle users to proceed further ahead of Fulet village. Such is the damage that even the pedestrians are finding it difficult to commute. Further it was stated that the potable water supply lines had been damaged in Fulet and Silla villages. Responding to this, the MlA had a telephonic conversation with the official concerned of the Peyjal Nigam and directed that work be conducted swiftly to restore the pipelines.
