Baramulla, Feb 15: A suspension footbridge constructed years ago at a local picnic spot Eco Park in Baramulla has got damaged badly, posing risk to pedestrians.
Locals said that the suspension footbridge over River Jhelum constructed more a decade ago connects Sheeri to Khadinyar area. They alleged the bridge got damaged but the department concerned is doing nothing to repair it.
“It’s a matter of concern as the bridge is posing a threat to the lives of pedestrians and needs to be repaired at the earliest. The bridge witnesses 60% flow of visitors to Eco Park,” they added.
They said that it seems the authorities are waiting for mishap to happen.
Executive Engineer at roads and buildings (R&B) department Baramulla said that the matter will be looked into and the necessary repairs will be carried out.
