MENDHAR, July 29: The inhabitants of Kandi- Galuta villages near Mendhar in border district of Poonch are awaiting the construction of a bridge over local nallah and permanent road connectivity since independence.
The villagers and their school going children often risk their lives while crossing this nallah and specially when it is flooded or semi-flooded. The school going children many times remain stranded on the either side for hours during rainy season. During floods, this nallah forces these school going children to confine within their houses.
Locals of the area Zakki Zaffar Khan, Zaka Ullah Khan ,Yakoob Khan and Gulam Murtaza claimed that Badi- Mohalla of Kandi Galuta village remains cut off during rainy season. There is urgent need to construct a bridge and ensure road connectivity. Many times political leaders made false claims during elections but this demand of the public remained unheard.
Another local villager alleged that people face lot of difficulties while shifting patients of the area to the hospital. He said the tall claims of the local leaders/ former legislators have totally exposed them before the public and they have failed to ensure better development in Mendhar area. He said the villagers demand the intervention of the Governor and his Advisor in this connection.
