Uma Shanker I purchased a items under one scheme from M/s New Handloom House on 30.9.2004 but they are not fulfilling the promise of their scheme even my repeated requests. So, I request the tourist not purchase anything from the shopkeepers of Manali and atleast from M/s New Handloom House,Opp. Hadimba Temple,Near Auto Stand,Manali,Himachal Pradesh, India.
