Shopian, Feb 25 (KNO): The Roads and Building (R&B) sub division Imamsahib in South Kashmir's Shopian district continues to function from Zainapora division, thereby leaving the common masses to lurch at large.
The residents of Imamsahib told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that sub division R&B Imamsahib was sanctioned around a year ago, but it was never shifted to Imamsahib from where it is supposed to work.
They said that the sub division is functioning from Zainapora division office, which is situated at least 15 kilometres away from Imamsahib and thus simultaneously is leaving the locals to suffer.
Irfan Ahmad, a social activist, questioned the delay in shifting the Subdivision to Imamsahab.
Kifayat Ahmad, a local resident, said that for any work, the residents of Imamsahib are being forced to visit Zainapora. He said that if the AEE office is made functional in Imamsahib, then the purpose of creating a subdivision Imamsahib will be fulfilled.
Locals said that they have brought this issue into the notice of concerned authorities several times but on ground, nothing has been done as of now.
They urged higher ups especially Chief Engineer R&B Department and Deputy Commissioner Shopian to look into the matter at an earliest so that locals could heave a sigh of relief—(KNO)
