She said that although this road link is inaccessible during the winter months due to heavy snow fall, but by the dedicated affords of the concerned agencies the road link is made accessible for the poor and forgotten souls of the area in the month of April on regular basis— but this year the same is being delayed for the reasons beyond our knowledge aggravating the miseries of the people. “Requested to your paramount (LG) self to kindly issue the instructions to the concerned agencies to work on war footing to make this road accessible to the poor and suppressed people to the area at an earliest,” she maintained and said that after Mughal road— Sinthan road awaits for making accessible to the poor people of Marwah and Warwan.
