ARNIA: Shiv Sena Hindustan activists under the leadership of J&K President Pt Rajesh Kesri today organized strong protest against injuries to at least 15 passengers after a Bus on its way to Jammu from Arnia veered off the road and crashed into a field in Kalyana village.Kesri speaking on the occasion demanded immediate widening of Bridge of Kalayana village which has been delayed despite availability of funds and despite bridge being very narrow, frequent accidents take place in the area.

Kesri said that despite its strategic value, the bridge is also marked by potholes and is without proper lighting which makes it difficult to pass through the area during night.He further said that the Roads and Building Department has failed to keep the bridge in good condition. “It is very unfortunate that no step has been taken to carry out the necessary repairs on the bridge.

The administration should give due consideration to the road infrastructure in rural areas,” Kesri said adding that the Bridge is also used by security forces to reach border areas.A bus passes from here with great difficulty. Every year, buses and small vehicles fall here, said Kesri.

Kesri further said that hundreds of villagers including school going children go to the city from here which makes this bridge even vital. But whosoever leaves village Kalyana, feels uncomfortable and frightened while crossing this bridge as the bridge is very narrow and also potential cause of accidents in the area. Kesri further said that earlier also, a bus fell from here and 40 people were injured here, out of which 10 people were badly injured and they have not received any compensation from the government till now.

He demanded from the government to give compensation to the people who have been injured in bus accident yesterday. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Balveer Kumar , Suresh Kumar , Balwant Fauji, Prince Jagjivan Kumar, Basant Kumar, Rajesh Kumar, Lalchand, Sanjeev Kumar, Darshana Devi, Rajni Devi, Neeru Devi, Vijay Kumari.
