NAINITAL: The Uttarakhand high court (HC) on Thursday heard a public interest litigation seeking the removal of Rajni Bhandari, the president of the district panchayat of Chamoli, from her post.
The petitioner, Chamoli-based Prithvi Singh Negi, alleged that Bhandari had allowed "sub-standard" material to be used in the repair work of the route of Nanda Devi Raj Jat yatra -- a pilgrimage held once in 12 years in Garhwal -- in 2012-13.
