But the happiness was short-lived as due to some internal reasons, the construction was put on hold. Now, it’s been eight years, and people here are still awaiting that road construction to go on the floors again and connect them with the town. “We had given up our land for the department to pave the road. Villagers sacrificed their fields and gardens for the larger good of the entire community that faces several challenges while commut- ing through the kutcha roads,” shared the villagers who have not received any compensation for the land they had given up. According to them, officials from the department visit the area only to leave after giving them assurances, which have not yet been materialised into anything concrete in the last eight years. During his Poonch visit in July this " year, the former LG Girish Chandra Murmu, the predecessor to LG Manoj ! Sinha, had also focussed on the construc- tion of roads. That time, the chief of the concerned department had visited the vil- lage and had promised the villagers that the matter will be resolved at the earliest and the road will be completed, howev- er, only to no relief.
