He said not only the locals are facing inconvenience but it has become the death trap from the people of adjacent areas.Another resident Hilal Ahmad Rather said district administration had failed to upgrade the infrastructure of the bridge, leaving the residents to face the difficulties. “Before few year Rural Development Department (RDD) has assured that it would be construed but nothing has been done so far,” he said.
As per Rather, Government is spending crores of rupees on development schemes but their area has been neglected over the years.The residents appealed Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu led administration and RDD officials to look into the issue, so that they can sigh of relief.
