Gopal Singh of Lamdegadh hamlet, which crowns a hill of Chamoli district near the Kumaon-Garhwal border, has to walk 8 km to reach the nearest motorable road. Chamoli (Uttarakhand): In sleepy Uttarakhand villages, tucked away inside lush green forests far from motorable roads, there has been a sudden burst of activity for a few days now as people rush out of their houses in the early hours each day, hoping to return home with the currency notes that they can use. Gopal Singh of Lamdegadh hamlet, which crowns a hill of Chamoli district near the Kumaon-Garhwal border, has to walk 8 km to reach the nearest motorable road. From there he travels another 2 km by a local jeep or bus to reach the nearest bank. For Lamdegadh residents, the trip to the bank has now become a daily, taxing chore. “I return home early when I feel dizzy after standing in the bank queue for hours,” Sanjay Singh, a resident of Lambagad, another village near Lamdegadh, said.

We leave for the town a day in advance so that we can reach the bank early and return home the next day,” Mr. Rawat said.
