Bhagat said demanded early construction of the only linkage for 60,000 people of Siraz area of Doda tehsil cut off from the rest of state.

Bali Bhagat said that the foot-suspension bridge at village Trungal had already got washed away in June 2005 due to flash flood in Chenab and criticized the state government for not taking any concrete measure to reconstruct the bridge. Bali Bhagat demanded that the construction of motorable bridge at Trungal over river Chenab be taken up on war-footing and another foot-suspension bridge at Marsoo be put in place immediately to provide connectivity.
