| Bhala people stage protest for road connectivity | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 3: Irked over the irresponsible, pathetic and casual attitude of the state government, scores of women of different villagers in Seri area of Bhala Tehsil on Tuesday held a strong protest demonstration and blocked Bhadarwah-Doda highway at Sari for one hour.
The protestors demanded adequate road connectivity in their respective areas. According to them despite repeated demands since last 15 years, state government failed to provide connectivity to these villages even as several surveys under different schemes were undertaken from time to time.
They said a road constructed a few years ago was in dilapidated condition. To press their demands, the villagers including women and children gathered at ever busy Bhaderwah - Doda highway early in the morning at Sari near Bhala and held a strong protest. The protestors blocked the road amid shouting of slogans against R&B ,PMGSY and local administration who according to them 'only come up with false promises despite repeated requests and representations submitted to them'.
Hundreds of commuters and dozens of passenger and private vehicles remained stranded on both sides of the road as protesters refused to lift the blockade.
. Later , Tehsildar Bhala Aamir along with police officers reached the spot and requested the villagers to suspend the protest as authorities have assured that their demand regarding the road connectivity will be considered on priority. On Tehsildar's assurance, protesters called off their protest and traffic was restored in the afternoon. |
