Shimla, February 20
Residents of Majaith ward of the Shimla Municipal Corporation will sit on an indefinite strike outside the Secretariat or in Totu on March 5 in support of their long-standing demand of ambulance road. The residents will meet Urban Development Minister Suresh Bhardwaj.
"People are upset with the lackadaisical attitude of the state government and the Railways over their genuine demand of an ambulance road," said Majaith ward councillor Divakar Sharma. "The people opposed the FIR against people who were protesting against the government and the Railways for not accepting their demand," said Sharma.
He said if the meeting with the Urban Development Minister on February 28 did not yield any positive result, people would sit on an indefinite protest from March 5.
