Congress MLA from Dharchula Harish Dhami and BJP’s Didihat MLA Bishen Singh Chufal on Friday entered into a fight during a public hearing on the Pancheshwar dam in Pithoragarh. Uttarakhand Kranti Dal patron Kashi Singh Aeri was also allegedly pushed out of the hall by the BJP supporters. During the public hearing on the Pancheshwar hydro power project at the Vikas Bhavan, Djhami was speaking about grievances of the people from the areas that would come in the submergence zone. Dhami then had a fight with BJP MLA Chufal and both of them pushed each other. Dhami alleged that the BJP members have turned the public hearing into a party forum.
