Dehradun: Abandoned houses in Pauri district’s ’ghost’ villages, called so as they have become empty after their residents left them, are proving useful for the administration which is converting them into quarantine centres for migrants returning in droves to Uttarakhand. “In view of the huge influx of people coming from outside the state, the utility of the abandoned houses on the peripheries of deserted villages becomes immense,” BDO of Rikhnikhal block in Pauri district S P Thapliyal said.
