HC pulls-up Himachal government over 'flawed' report

Expressing deep dissatisfaction over the status report on the Beas tragedy submitted by the state government, the Himachal Pradesh high court on Monday directed it to file a fresh one by June 19.

A division bench of acting chief justice Mansoor Ahmad Mir and Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan also expressed dismay over the slow progress of enquiry being held by the Mandi divisional commissioner and directed him to conclude the process before the next date of hearing on June 19.

The high court had taken suo motu cognisance of news reports after 24 students and a co-tour operator of a group from a Hyderabad-based engineering college were swept away in the river in Kullu district after sudden release of water from the reservoir of a power project on June 8.
