Bandipora, Mar 21 (KNO): The residents of Kharpora locality in Bandipora district are aghast after a land owner closed approach road and started construction work on it.
Locals told mews agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the land owner closed the approach road, which is the only motorable link for the locality, thereby making them suffer a lot.
They said that the land owner suddenly started construct work on the road and diverted the link from where a vehicle can hardly pass.
“The land owner is already getting rent from the authorities concerned as compensation for providing passage via land. But on Thursday he started some construction work on it and closed the same for any sort of movement,” said Ishtiyaq Ahmad, a local resident.
He said that the residents don’t have any other motorable link to their area, thereby making them suffer in absence of approach road.
“If, God forbade, any untoward incident like fire mishap happens in the locality how would a fire tender reach the locality when the only link road is closed. Or if someone falls ill how would he or she be taken to a hospital,” they asked.
The residents urged the deputy commissioner Bandipora to intervene into the matter and help resolve their genuine grievance—(KNO)
