| Chattral villagers demand construction of bridge | | |  M S Nazki
Early Times Report
POONCH, July 31: Residents of Chattral village in Mendhar area of Poonch district urged the concerned administration for construction of a bridge in their village.
Locals of the area have been demanded this since long and are furious over the attitude of the concerned authorities over their genuine demand.
People said that Chattral is a small stream in the villages, which divides the Chattral village into two parts and from the last several decades the residents are facing hardships to cross it due the absence of bridge.
The authorities have failed to construct the bridge.
They said that village has a population of near about 15000 and most of the people are living under below poverty line. "If some person falls sick the villagers have to carry him on their shoulder to take them to the nearest health care centre at Chattral which is about three kilometers as the roads are in bad condition," said locals and added that the villagers are risking their lives every time they cross the stream.
The residents said that sometimes crossing the stream become difficult particularly during rainy season when the water level is high. The absence of bridge has made our life miserable one resident said
Also there is no direct road to connect the village to the Tehsil Headquarters Mendhar This bridge will not only benefit the village Chattral but the adjoining villages also. It will also lessen the distance to contact with the village to the main road
President Youth development Association Mendhar Advocate Tanvir Iqbal qureshi on behalf of the residents of Chattral appeal to the Governor Satya Pal Malik to look after the issue and address the problem as soon as possible. |
