Srinagar, July 24: Even as many years have passed since the construction work of three vital bridges over Jhelum began at Sumbal area of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district, the structures remained incomplete despite missing multiple deadlines.
The Roads and Buildings department between 2012- 2014 undertook two footbridges at Shadipora and main market Sumbal and a single-span motorable bridge at Zalpora area of the town. While the work on the Zalpora-Nowpora Bridge is going on at a slow pace, there has been no progress on footbridges for the last two years.
Once completed, the bridges would serve as a vital link for several villages and benefit people living on the fringes of town. Many years have passed since the construction work on the bridges started, but a delay in their completion is causing great difficulties for the residents and they accused the administration of turning deaf ear to their pleas.
