| Damaged bridge at Bhour Camp Chatha creates problems for locals | | |  rajesh tandon
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 28: The negligence of Public Works (Road and Building) Department can be gauged from fact that a vital bridge at Ward No. 2 of Bhour Camp Chatha, which connects several villages, has been lying damaged for years and the concerned department has never got it repaired putting the locals in great distress.
Sources told Early Times that there is a Government School, Panchayat Ghar on the other side of the bridge but due to the damaged bridge, the vehicles cannot cross it to reach the other side. "Around 3-4 villages get connected with this bridge but the damaged bridge has restricted vehicular movement and due to which people had to take long routes to get to the other side," local residents said.
They alleged that the funds were released by the department for its repair but the same were never spent on it, which clearly shows that embezzlement has taken place in this case. "We have given a number of representations to the concerned department for this issue, but nothing was done to mitigate our problems," they alleged.
They appealed to the Anti Corruption Bureau to conduct investigation into the matter so that corrupt officials be taken to task for their negligence. When Early Times contacted Executive Engineer PWD, he said that he doesn't know about it as he has been transferred. Astoundingly, when the incumbent official was contacted he passed the buck on the previous official and said that he had just joined and will inquire about it. |
