Locals seek LG’s intervention
Srinagar : Locals from Mehjoor Nagar area of Srinagar city Friday while seeking the intervention of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha appealed concerned officials to undertake immediate restoration of Mehjoor Nagar foot-bridge.
A couple of pillars of the vital bridge connecting Mehjoor Nagar and adjacent areas with Jawahar Nagar and rest of the city collapsed after the government released a large volume of waters into the flood channel when rains lashed Kashmir for the two consecutive days in August 2020. Since then no efforts were made by authorities to restore the bridge to its original form.
The locals told that they have to take alternate lengthy routes to reach the destinations. “We urge concerned officials to start work on this collapsed foot-bridge,” they said and sought the intervention of LG Manoj Sinha. (KNT)
