Local residents alleged that previous year the lady died while she was on the way to hospital, due to absence of bridge the locals couldn’t shift her to hospital on time.
Residents told The Kashmiriyat that the then DC Baramulla G N Itoo visited the said village and assured them that the work on bridge will begin but unfortunately not concrete has been done on ground.
