Chief secretary SS Sandhu inspected the Thandi Sadak which was damaged due to disaster in Nainital on Sunday. He left for Dehradun in the evening after completing his three-day tour of Nainital. Inspecting the damaged route, the chief secretary issued necessary instructions to the officials. He directed the officials to prepare a proposal for the treatment of Baliyanala Thandi Sadak. Construction work should be undertaken while keeping the natural beauty in mind, he said. Sandhu said that cracks and landslides are often experienced in mountain States.
