106-year-old Mr Mangat Ram cut the ribbon and inaugurated the road construction work to connect the border villages of LoC with other areas of Poonch district. However, two years ago a bridge was built at a cost of Rs 8 crores for Degwar and nine panchayats in Poonch but the locals weren’t able to make use of the bridge because of lack of a road.
The villagers have expressed happiness that in the near future they will be able to travel to other areas in their vehicles or public transport.
