Losing their patience over the failure of the administration to provide them with the basic amenities, the women from the rural areas of Bageshwar have threatened to launch a massive agitation if there is no improvement in the state of affairs over the next fortnight.

A large number of women, particularly from the Danpur belt staged a demonstration in the town on Thursday airing their demands. They walked from the Pindari taxi stand to the Tehsil office where they staged a dharna.

They later submitted a four-point charter of demands to the local administration to act upon. The main demands of the women pertained to the basic amenities like water, power and proper roads. [more]
