61-year-old wooden bridge over Neeru River in JK's Bhaderwah poses threats to villagers and students everyday  A wooden bridge that was supposed to facilitate good transport for the residents has become a problem for many. Not exactly in a developed condition, wooden bridge connecting half a dozen villages to Bhaderwah town over Neeru River in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bhaderwah is posing risk to the commuters who use it every day.  As many as 2000 people including school going students and elderly from 6 villages - Rainda, Dhumanda, Dalain, Thubba, Wazir Kotli and Chabcha, have no other option, but to depend on a man-made wooden bridge built in 1962 using Cedar timber and wood planks from the jungle, across the Neeru stream, for their daily travel.    The area have been receiving heavy and continuous rain, and the water level of the streams is also rising. The worn out wooden bridge, which is approximately 38m in length and a metre wide, is built across Neeru stream at Rainda village just 1km from Bhaderwah town.   Joginder Kumar (70), a local, said that for 20 years, the villagers have been demanding a bridge. The Rainda village is located in Sadar gram panchayat, and there are 6 villages across river, with about 2000 population there use this bridge to reach Bhaderwah town for their daily requirements including ration, schools, offices, College and University.    Villagers claimed that they pleaded before the authorities several times to either replace the 61 years old damaged wooden bridge with steel plated one or atleast repair it for the safety of school going kids.   "During last two decades authorties of R&B (Roads and Buildings) department have carried out survey of the bridge atleast 50 times, every time rekindling the hope that now we will get a safe bridge but unfortunately all the surveys and promises turned out to be a fluke. Are they waiting for some untoward incident," said Shri Krishan Sharma (68),a resident of village Rainda.   "We are fed up of false promises. It's really painful to be in a state of fear all the time especially during rains as water level in Neeru almost touches the surface of the bridge and we have no other option but to cross the worn out bridge to reach other side of the river. If not mended immidiately, we will hit the streets," said Amit Kumar Sharma (38).    When contacted AEE R&B Bhaderwah Mushtaq Ahmed Sheikh said,"indeed the old wooden bridge is in very bad condition and we have already send a project to NABARD worth 215 lakhs to replace the worn out foot bridge with motorable bridge."   "District administration has taken up the issue on top priority considering the safety of the people. As of know, we will send a team of engineers for safety check and if necessary, the bridge will closed for people to move on it, till then my request to residents is to avoid crossing the bridge and use instead Sarol Bag bridge to cross the river," Sheikh added.7
