“Despite movement of heavy motor vehicles is prohibited on the bridge but they manage to travel from there with ease that causes heavy traffic jams and impediments to pedestrian walk”, locals said.

The locals appealed to district administration Kupwara to look into the matter so that people can heave a sigh of relief.
