Flaying the legislators and ministers of the area for their negligence in constructing a simple bridge that would connect the hapless population with the accessible areas like Qaziabad, Langate, Handwara and Rafiabad, the residents threatened to block all the main roads if the authorities don’t wake up from deep slumber to construct this simple bridge for the convenience of the hapless population. The residents alleged that politicians come to seek votes but not to construct a simple bridge that requires not lakhs but few thousands of rupees. (KNS)
