Takya, a village about 5 km from the district headquarters in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, has been connected with the road for the first time.
This has brought cheers on the faces of the residents as the village comprising 250 households was not even connected to the district headquarters until now.
Although work on the road was started 10 years ago, it could not be completed due to land disputes, an official said.
The village is situated around 2 km from the main road at Tenghada.
“We had no road connectivity till date and one of the reasons was land dispute and compensation to land owners,” locals said.
