66-yr-old woman is only resident of a village in Uttarakhand
66-year-old Vimla is the lone resident of Uttarakhand's Bandul village, one of the many ghost settlements in the state's remote rural areas. "Because of lack of infrastructure and schools, people started migrating. Now I am here alone," Vimla said. According to estimates, as many as 3,500 villages have turned into ghost settlements in the state.
