Kahipora residents block road
Kupwara, September 22 They raised slogans against the department and blocked the Kahipora-Handwara road for about two hours. They said they were facing problems due to the incomplete work on the bridge. “It has been about eight years that the vital bridge has not been completed by the construction agency. We are suffering due to the incomplete bridge as it takes about an hour to reach Handwara through Zachaldara,” said Habibullah Shah, a local resident. Another resident of the area, Mohd Shafi of Sudal village, said, “It takes about an hour to reach Handwara via Zachaldara. The distance can be completed in just 20 minutes if the bridge is motorable.” They demanded that the work on vital bridge should be sped up and the bridge made motorable at the earliest. “Despite many requests to the civil administration to speed up the construction work on the bridge, nothing has been done. I appeal to the minister concerned to intervene and complete the construction work at the earliest,” said M Shafi Bhat, sarpanch of Kahipora halqa. The villagers called off the protest around 12 noon. Minister for Transport and Handwara MLA Chowdary Mohammad Ramzan said he would direct the R&B Department to speed up the work and complete the bridge at the earliest. “I will direct the department to make the bridge motorable in the shortest possible time so that the problems of the people are mitigated,” he said.

IGP Jammu visits Rajouri, reviews security scenario in area
Rajouri, September 22 Although all such attempts had been foiled, there was a need of maintaining utmost vigil not only on the LoC but also in the hinterland, he added. During the review of law and order and crime, the IGP called upon all the officers to be vigilant and ensure that there was no law and order problem as there were some forces inimical to peace, desperate to vitiate the atmosphere. While emphasising upon the need to have a professional approach in controlling crime, Kumar said the menace of bovine smuggling, drug pedalling and violence against women had to be given top priority and at the same time to have an excellent rapport with the public while discharging the duties. A youth club, with facilities of free internet library, fitness centre and sports, was also inaugurated by him in the presence of the youth of Rajouri town. In the afternoon, Kumar chaired a public meeting at the Dak Bungalow, Rajouri, in which prominent citizens of the district highlighted various issues, including installation of CCTV cameras, construction of modern police stations, highway patrol vehicles and cranes and effective delivery of police services.
