KISHTWAR, May 14: Senior Congress leader and MLA Inderwal Ghulam Mohammad Saroori has demanded immediate opening of Kishtwar-Sinthan road to make shortest road link connectivity between the people of twin hilly and far-flung districts of Doda and Kishtwar with summer capital Srinagar.
In a press statement issued here, Saroori said that since Doda-Batote road has been declared unsafe for vehicular movements after several stretches were washed away near Assar and Ragi Nallah.
"It is the need of the hour that this route connecting Doda and Kishtwar with the rest of the world should be opened without any delay," said Saroori. He said that with the opening of this road, there will be a huge flow of local as well as foreign tourists to both these districts as both these routes are attractive for tourists. "We can give boost to the tourism pilgrimage also as numbers of religious places of different religions are located in these two districts as number of pilgrims could not visit those religious places due to poor connectivity," said Saroori.
Later Saroori telephonically briefed Chief Engineer Beacon Brig R K Sharma and OC 118 Road Construction Company (RCC) of Beacon about public demand and discussed the matter of opening of Sinthan Top road at war footing at an earliest. He asked the Chief Engineer to immediately take up repair and patchwork required at several places along the National Highway from Thathri-Kishtwar.
He also urged BEACON to regularly maintain the road and remove potholes on an urgent basis. |
