SHOPIAN, Sept 18: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on his visit to Shopian inaugurated Auditorium Block of Government Degree College worth Rs 6 crore and laid foundation stone of various infrastructural projects including roads and bridges.
The Lt Governor laid the foundation stone for three bridges including the Badimarg Bridge (Narwani- Badimarg road) costing Rs 2.89 crore, the bridge at Nildora ( Nildora- Herman road) at a cost of Rs 2.37 crore, and a bridge at Alam Ganj ( Habdipora - Kadder road) worth Rs 2.37 crore, addressing the long pending demands of local populace.
