Absence of bridge in remote area affects everything including education in 10 villages
The inhabitants of at least twenty villages of Kalaroos area are cut off from Kupwara headquarters due to non-availability of a bridge at Nallah Kalaroos.The residents maintain that the fast flowing gushing waters have already claimed fifteen lives during past few years and students were the biggest sufferers.
Feeling neglected on part of authorities, the dismayed villagers allege that in spite of repeated representations, the authorities have shut their eyes to the problems of about ten thousand inhabitants living in these areas. The cut off Gojri speaking villages include Thayan, Nagsari, Narikhoot, Kataryan, Check Jabadwali, Mori, Ladah, Methabagh, Teda, Badi and Bakh.
The snow is melting in upper reaches and water level of the river originating from Sonapandi foot hills has gone up alarmingly, posing threat especially to school children. The village people have erected wooden poles over the Nallah to cross to the other side but it poses great risk to their lives. The school children enrolled in various schools on the the other side of the river have to cross it almost every day.
They said that due to the non-availability of a bridge, most of times, the ailing could not be ferried to sub district hospital (SDH) Kupwara for treatment.It is to mention that the remote areas also lack health care facilities and ailing have to avail medical treatment from Kupwara.
