Pomfret villagers in the North West are refusing relocation to more habitable areas. This is despite possible health risks due to asbestos mining in the area decades ago. Government's attempts to relocate them were halted with a court interdict in 2012. With no electricity, health facilities or police station, they want government to restore this dilapidated town to its former glory. Six years later officials are still at loggerheads with human rights lawyers, to find a solution. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
