KISHTWAR, June 28: Villagers from Bhagran and Changawari area of Inderwal in district Kishtwar have expressed strong resentment over the change of alignment of a PMGSY road in the area.
The villagers alleged that the a link road from Karool to Badhat under PMGSY was sanctioned in 2009 and for the same the survey was performed covering villages, Bhagran and Changawari having population of over 350-400 souls. The then Tehsildar and his staff besides other officials had also visited the area and asked the villagers not to raise any construction along the alignment area. But unfortunately after the wait of over seven years, the alignment of the road was changed with the political influence and the people of these two villages were left to suffer.
The villagers approached DC Kishtwar and even the MLA, G M Saroori but nothing has been done in this regard. They have sought the intervention of Minister for R&B, Abdul Rehman Veeri into the matter.
