Residents of Malanu village in Thathri of Doda district have accused the village sarpanch of allowing the construction of a volleyball ground on the sole helipad meant for medical emergencies. The district administration has asked the J&K Sports Council and the PWD to provide information about it. Doda district is a mountainous region where road accidents take place frequently. The helipad is meant for medical evacuations. Choppers have landed here not more than three times since 2007 when it was constructed, residents said.
