The locals apprised him about the dilapidated condition of Banihal-Mangit road, erratic power supply in far-off areas besides lack of health care facilities in their villages and demanded new transformer at Mangit.
The people also complained about the scarcity of drinking water in several villages in the area. People also demanded the construction of an all-weather Bawa to Magit road that will connect the majority population living in these villages throughout the year.
Shaheen said the bad condition of Banihal– Mangit road has badly impacted mobility and added to the misery of the people living in these remote villages and demanded black toping of left over 6 kms road from Branmarg to Hargam Mangit.
