Chandyalkot is such a village under Panchayat Mamankot in tehsil Chassana of the Reasi district, which is situated across Morha Ummi Nallah. For visiting Chassana and Mahore mainland, the locals have no option other than to cross this nallah, which is without even foot bridge.
Flow of water in this nallah is so intense that risk of life always remains there while crossing this stretch.
Intensity of the water flow can be gauged from the fact that it is almost impossible foe children and elderly people to cross their nallah without the help of others.
During the rainy season, the village remains virtually cut off from the other areas and the people are left on the mercy of God. Because of no foot bridge, it becomes very difficult for the patients to reach Health Centre at Chassana.
The locals alleged that despite repeated requests, the District Administration did not take any action for providing the facility of foot bridge on the nallah.
