RAMBAN: Deputy Commissioner Ramban Mohammad Alyas Khan today convened an emergency meeting of the departments concerned with road infrastructure and essential services to review the progress of restoration works affected by recent heavy rains, landslides, road sinking and flash floods.
The meeting was attended by SSP Arun Gupta; ADC Varunjeet Singh Charak; ACR Showkat Hayat Mattoo; PD NHAI Shubam Yadav; CO Transit Camp, officers from BEACON, Executive Engineers and Engineers of PWD, PMGSY, Jal Shakti, JPDCL, Tehsildars and other concerned officers.
A major focus was the KaroalâMaitraâGool Road, where a vital stretch between Kala Pani and Batti was washed away, cutting off connectivity to Sub-Division Gool and various areas of Tehsil Ramban, while also hampering critical projects such as the Railway Project and Sawalkote Hydropower Project.
Keeping in view the strategic importance of the National Highway, the Deputy Commissioner directed BEACON, NHAI and Army authorities to explore all possibilities for immediate restoration of traffic movement. He emphasized the need for both short-term and long-term solutions, suggesting the erection of a temporary bailey/suspension bridge while simultaneously initiating work on a permanent structure to ensure reliable connectivity.
The DC also reviewed the status of other link roads across the district, instructing PWD, PMGSY and BEACON to intensify restoration works by deploying adequate manpower and machinery to make these traffic-worthy at the earliest. The officers of executing departments assured that all the roads of their respective departments would be restored for vehicular traffic within one day.
In addition, he assessed the progress on the restoration of essential services and supplies. The concerned departments, including JPDCL, Jal Shakti, FCS&CA and other line departments were directed to restore electricity, water supply and ration distribution in affected areas without delay. The officers informed that restoration works are being carried out on a war footing and all essential services are expected to be fully restored by tomorrow.
