The construction of the bridge was held up due to the presence of house and commercial structures at the bridge site. However, with the intervention of the revenue department, PMGSY department led by Executive Engineer Kishtwar and cooperation of the house and commercial structure owners, the structures were peacefully demolished.
SDM Paddar further directed the PMGSY department to speed up the bridge work. This development will not only connect the road of Machail, but will also extend the PMGSY road up to Machail village. This will be a significant benefit for the lakhs of Machail yatra devotees who visit the area. Next year, pilgrims will face no difficulties and the on-foot distance will be reduced to a minimum. This positive outcome is a result of the combined efforts of the Revenue authorities, PMGSY department and the cooperation of the residents.
