BANIHAL, Mar 5: National Conference district president Ramban, Mir Sajjad Shaheen today toured village Kawna, Ahma, Kumbla, Udhala and Pathhalan in Khari Tehsil and took stock of the situation arisen after long spell of snowfall during winters.
He met people in Khari and Nachlana who apprised him about erratic power supply in far-off areas. The people also complained about scarcity of drinking water in several villages.
Shaheen said the road connectivity to Khari-Mahu and Banihal-Mangit roads is in bad shape.
He particularly referred to the frequent blockade of Nachlana-Khari-Mahu road due to sinking of a major portion of the road at Hirnihal and said that no serious effort is being made to repair the road.
He said that the concerned agencies must formulate a comprehensive plan of construction of a permanent bridge at the sinking portion as a long term solution.
The NC leader urged district administration to take cognizance of this public issue as it is of utmost importance for the large number of population living in the area.
Shaheen also drew the attention of administration towards deficiencies in education and health sectors and sought immediate filling up of vacant posts.
