Dhanbad residents resist admin’s relocation efforts away from gas leak area

According to Dhanbad Deputy Commissioner Aditya Ranjan, the affected families are reluctant to shift. On Saturday, several of them were taken to the proposed site in Belgadia, but they were reluctant citing trivial issues.
