Srinagar, Oct 6 : The long-awaited Mehjoor Nagar footbridge, connecting Mehjoor Nagar with Jawahar Nagar, remains incomplete, sparking frustration among residents.
Despite a promising start, the project has missed multiple deadlines, disillusioning locals with the authorities.
The foundation stone was laid two years ago, with the then Commissioner of Srinagar Municipal Corporation and the Mayor assuring completion within 10 months. However, the project's snail-paced progress has raised concerns about accountability and the lack of urgency from officials.
Residents of Mehjoor Nagar have expressed dissatisfaction, feeling neglected by the authorities. "There is no one who cares. We have been waiting for years, and it's disheartening to see the project stalled,” said a local resident.
In the past, government officials had emphasized the importance of infrastructure development. However, the current situation tells a different story.
The delayed completion of the footbridge has significant implications for daily commuters, pedestrians, and the overall connectivity between Mehjoor Nagar and Jawahar Nagar.
As the wait continues, residents of Mehjoor Nagar demand answers and action from the authorities. Will the Mehjoor Nagar footbridge ever be completed, or will it remain a symbol of delayed development?
