Srinagar: Six years have passed since the construction of Lala Sahab bridge at Warpora area of Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district was started in 2009 and it is still incomplete.
According to reports, people of the nearby village are aghast on delay in the construction. A wooden makeshift bridge also collapsed recently due to which residents suffer a lot.
Parviaz Reshi a local resident of Malpora village said, “we face lot of problems in traveling to district headquarter. This bridge connects five villages Malpora , Arch ,Guzarbal, Babsipora and Arampora to main town Ganderbal. We have to take other long routes to reach to the town, which wastes our time. We have approached to various authorities from time to time but all in vain,” he added.
Locals said that a footbridge was made but we demanded bridge for vehicles, many officials and ministers assured us construction of vehicle bridge .
They further said that MLA Ganderbal Ishfaq Jabbar has also promised to release money from his CDF but in all these years nothing has been done to construct the bridge.
A wooden makeshift bridge recently collapsed due is rise in water level which has completely disconnected the villages with district headquarter.
People residing in the area have applauded the R&B Minister, Naeem Akhthar and concerned MLA Ishfaq Jabar to look into the matter and take appropriate actions so that people may not face inconvenience in future as well.
