The residents of Kanthpora, Lolab Thursday accused Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation (JKPCC) of failing to complete the under-construction bridge in their area, resulting in severe hardships to the inhabitants.
The residents said that the bridge, sanctioned a decade ago, connects several villages, and, once completed, would boost the trade in the region.
An official said that the project was approved at an estimated cost of approximately Rs 6.3 crore of which most of the funds had been released.
The residents also said that most of the work on the bridge had been completed yet not completed.
“We are unable to figure out why, despite 90 percent of the work having been accomplished, the concerned department is not serious to finish the remaining work,” a local said.
