KISHTWAR: District DevelopmentCommissioner Rajesh Kumar Shavan today conducted an inspection of the landslide-prone area at Singrah Nallah, Patharnaki along the Kishtwar-Peddar Road.
During the visit, officials from the GREF (General Reserve Engineer Force) briefed the Deputy Commissioner on the current status of the ongoing restoration and construction works on the said route. The inspection focused on assessing the vulnerability of the area to landslides and evaluating the progress of mitigation measures in place.
After a thorough examination of the site, the DDC issued necessary directions to the GREF authorities to expedite the work while ensuring safety and sustainability. He directed the local administration to stay on high alert and emphasized upon the GREF authorities the importance of strengthening the affected section to ensure uninterrupted connectivity and to safeguard commuters, especially during the monsoon season.
Furthermore, the Deputy Commissioner advised hydroelectric project authorities to strictly adhere to standard operating procedures (SOPs) to minimize further impact and avoid exacerbating existing cracks.
It is pertinent to mention that the Pathernaki and Keru segments of the road are highly slide-prone and remain at constant risk of disruptions. Hence, continuous monitoring and prompt responsiveness from all stakeholders remain imperative. The DDC was accompanied by Assistant Commissioner Revenue Idrees Lone, concerned Tehsildar, GREF officials, and other senior officers during the visit.
