He said that, people of Rajouri and Poonch especially patients and students are suffering most with the repeated closing of an important highway which links these two districts with the rest of Kashmir valley as the shortest route. It has been weeks now, when snow clearance on mughal Road was completed, despite of that authorities are still not allowing vehicular movement on this major route.

Administration should ensure that people have to face no inconvenience in these pressing times" he said. 
 
"The people of Pir Panjal region lack tertiary care health facilities due to which they travel to Kashmir valley to avail treatment options & for getting their sick admitted into the local hospitals. People from Kashmir as well as from Pir Panjal region want to travel in a hassle free manner using this alternative connectivity. If the road remains closed,  hundreds of patients who get themselve checked in Srinagar fail to get treatment or medicines" he added.
