REASI, Aug 21: A complete shutdown was today observed in Mahore against the sub standard material allegedly being used by GREF in the construction of road.
Locals from Mahore and other adjoining areas took to streets to protest against use of sub-standard material and raised slogans against GREF authorities. A large number of people assembled at main market Mahore and blocked the main road connecting Mahore with Reasi, Ramban and other areas.
The protesters demanded from administration to take notice of their concern. They said that work for the construction of road has been given to GREF but it was using sub standard material.
After hours long protest, administrative officers rushed to the spot and pacified the situation by assuring protestors that the administration would look into the matter. Tehsildar said that the administration would ensure quality work.
One of the protesters said that few days ago a major accident happened in Mahore because of the dilapidated condition of road. Administration did not learn any lesson from that and still sub standard material was being used.
