Road from GHSS Degwar to New Betar Bridge | Construction work to start soon: Govt

Poonch, Oct 29:  All set to provide major relief to the residents of village Degwar, the district administration Poonch has received the authorisation for construction of Approach road from Government Higher Secondary  School (GHSS) Degwar to New Betar Bridge, an official press release said.

It has been a long pending demand of the people of village  Degwar and nearby Panchayats.

Earlier, a 165 mtr Steel Girder Bridge was constructed at Dalhan over Betar Nallah along with 450 mtr approach by Jammu & Kashmir Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) in the year 2021-22.

 The bridge is  not fully functional as a 1080 mtr stretch connecting the bridge with main road is yet to be up-graded/constructed.  The inhabitants of the area were demanding immediate completion/up-gradation of 1080 Mtr stretch between right approach of the bridge to the Higher Secondary  School Degwar to make the bridge fully functional and traffic worthy.

The residents of Degwar village have expressed great happiness over the efforts of the district administration for the construction of this road. “We hope that there will be more developmental works in the area and the people will gain confidence that the current administration is executing works as per the aspirations of the people,” they said.
