Around 70 cylinders were supplied to Kotighat after which the protest ended.

Singha said Kothighat residents were asking for cylinders supply as they could not go out due to lockdown. He said that on May 30, he took up the matter with the Shimla DC and was assured that cylinders will be supplied.

“When the promise was not met, I decided to protest,” he added.

CPI (M) also demanded the state government to issue white paper of purchases made in health department during lockdown to improve healthcare in Himachal.
