The bridge will benefit thousands of people living in the lake by connecting Saidal Kadal with Dal Bund road.

He said that Rakh-i- Arth Colony is being developed as modern colony with the provision of all the latest civic amenities like Educational Institutions, health care centres, parks, sewage and drainage, roads, electricity, water supply, commercial areas, religious places. He further said that colony is being linked both with Goripora as well as Durbal with 4-lane roads.
He said that presently a network of roads is being developed in the colony to facilitate the people already settled there.
The Minister assured the locals that pace of the development work of the colony would be further speeded up so that the transition of the dwellers is assured as soon as possible. He said that the procedure for assessment of compensation and allotment of plots is being further streamlined so as to ensure that the Dal dwellers are paid the compensation in one go both for their land as well as their structure to enable them to rebuilt their new houses at Rakh-i-Arth colony. Minister said that their genuine problems would be given due consideration.
Latter, the Minister alongwith MLA and Vice Chairman LAWDA, Mr. Irfan Yaseen took a round of various areas of Dal including Sultan Mohalla, Moti Mohalla, Mir Bahari Kani Kachi, Kan Mohala, Sheikh Mohalla, Teli Mohalla, Lito Mohalla and Abi Karapora and interacted with people living in these areas. |
