He said the work of the bridge worth crores of rupees under construction in Damhal hanjipora has also stopped and during the winters, Damhal hanjipora will be disconnected from the district headquarters during raining days.
Padder said that several ministers of the central government came on a visit to J&K and crores of rupees were spent but nothing was spent on construction works. He said there is a shortage of electricity in the area and the entire Damhal Hanjipura tehsil is deprived of electricity. (KNS)
