| Mandi-Arai Road still awaits restoration for want of funds | | | 
Early Times Report
POONCH, Dec 5: The road link from Mandi to Arai in tehsil Mandi of district Poonch which got damaged badly due to a cloud burst during floods in 2014 is still waiting for its restoration allegedly due to non-availability of funds needed to execute the repair work.
The damaged road has left a population of nearly 20,000 souls of the area high and dry as the link to their respective villages is almost inaccessible.
Locals particularly school children and people with disabilities are facing severe hardships in travelling on the dilapidated road.
Sarpanch Mohammed Aslam said that the work was allotted to PMGSY but sorry to say that not even three kilometers of road stretch could be completed so far adding that poor condition of the road has been taken up with the district administration on several occasions but no action was taken in this regard.
He appealed to the Lieutenant Governor and the district administration to complete the road as soon as possible so that people could get the much needed respite.
When contacted Executive Engineer PMGSY, Satish Bhagat said that the previous government had announced funds for Mandi-Arai Road in 2015 but unfortunately its release is still in waiting. That's the reason behind non- completion of the work. |
