Bridge on Doda Ghat Raod A Distant Dream .

Doda:: Four years on, the people of Ghat and other villages are awaiting completion of a bridge on Ghat Nullah. The villagers risk their lives while crossing the Nallah especially in the rainy season when the Nullah swells.

Situated just one and half km from the district headquarters, the Nullah is a big challenge for the villagers, especially commuters, who have to cross it daily to reach their destinations. It becomes more dangerous during the rainy season as flash floods are a routine affair.

The construction on this prestigious 24.7-m motorable girder bridge was started in 2013-14 during the Congress regime, but after the change of the government, only two pillars have been erected till now.

AISF national council member and senior leader Mukesh Parihar said, that the work on the bridge is going on at snail's pace. In five years, only two pillars have been erected. The Ghat-Doda road is completely unsafe for commuters and we have urged the government and the department concerned many times to speed up the work, but to no avail. We want the government to take the matter seriously and act tough against the defaulters.

"We are concerned about the safety of our children who cross this nullah daily to attend school in Doda.
I never allowed my children to go alone because sometimes the water level goes up suddenly. We want the bridge to be completed at the earliest," a parent said.
