STATE TIMES NEWS
POONCH: President Jammu Kashmir People’s Parliament Adv Sayed Waseem UL Hassan on Wednesday highlighted the significance of opening of Mughal road for passenger vehicular movement in the interest of the general public of border District’s Rajouri and Poonch.
He alleged that the administration is harassing the public of Rajouri Poonch District for unknown reasons. He said that “Allowing transportation of essentials commodities through this route from Valley to other parts of the country is appreciable but restricting the people to use this road from Pir Panjal towards Valley is totally unjustified. After few months this road will be closed in the winter, till then this connectivity should be opened for the general public amid strict adherence to the COVID protocol and regular weather advisories, to pay comfort especially to the students community and Patient’s of Rajouri Poonch Districts. Patients from remote areas of Pir Panjal region in particular are facing multiple problems in availing the appropriate healthcare in Valley due to the closure of this historical route.
Sayed Waseem UL Hassan demanded immediate opening of Mughal Road when all airports have been opened, railway movement resumed and all traffic routes have been opened in Jammu and Kashmir. He demanded immediate intervention of the LG Manoj Sinha and urged him to look into the matter seriously.
