BANIHAL, Nov 8: NC district Ramban president, Sajjad Shaheen has expressed concern over the difficulties being faced by the people due to closure of major link roads by the recent snowfall and incessant rains in district Ramban.
The NC leader said that higher reaches of Banihal, Ramban and Gool have witnessed season’s first snowfall during the last two days and the snow has been accumulated in different villages especially hilly and inaccessible areas like Mahu, Mangit, Neel Sarachi, Trigam, Pogal, Maligam, Allinbas and other areas and people living in these villages are facing many problems due to blockade of roads and lack of basic amenities like drinking water, electricity, transport and eatables.
He said, in the aftermath of the ongoing snowfall and rain, the electricity supply in certain mountainous terrains has been disrupted and the water supply has also been hampered.
“The major link roads like Banihal-Thachi-Mangit road, Nachlana-Mahu road, Bawa-Trigam road, Chamalwas-Neel road, Chamalwas-Chaknarwa, Hewagan-Neel-Zarari roads, that have been blocked due to snow and landslides should be restored immediately along with water and power supply.
