The broken footbridges near Thajiwas glacier at the famous health resort Sonamarg in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district are causing much inconvenience to the visitors.
The visitors complained that some of footbridges constructed years back located ahead of Thajiwas are in a dilapidated state and pose risk to those using it. “It is an accident waiting to happen,” exclaimed a visitor. “These are the small wooden pedestrian bridges. The authorities should have repaired them to make them attractive as well as safe,” the visitors said.
An official said that Thajiwas area is a wildlife zone and it is looked after by the Wildlife Department.
