Locals from Mehjoor Nagar area of Srinagar city Friday staged a protest asking concerned officials to undertake immediate restoration of Mehjoor Nagar foot-bridge.

The protesters said that a vital bridge connecting Mehjoor Nagar and adjacent areas with Jawahar Nagar and rest of the city was destroyed after government released large volume of waters into flood channel when rains lashed Kashmir for the two consecutive days recently.
The locals said that they have to take alternate lengthy routes to reach the destinations. “We urge concerned officials to start work on this collapsed foot-bridge,” they said.
“So for Government has not paid any attention to restore the bridge,” they said and warned of hitting the roads in case work on foot-bridge is not started. (KNT)
