He said that the road is very important in view of inter-regional connectivity. Besides, he said, it will boost the economic condition of the area and will explore the tourism of the region since the area adjoining this road is most beautiful and seven lakes are located on the sites of this proposed route.”

Farooq Inqlabi also demanded for grant of a new administration unit viz tehsil at Budhal. “This area is far-flung and it is located at the extreme end of the district Rajouri and district Reasi. The people are facing a lot of inconvenience for petty administrative matters and have to visit the tehsil headquarters Kotranka that is 40 kms away from Budhal,” he added.
Meanwhile, he also stressed upon the LG administration to gear-up the developmental works which are pending in the area or the pace of the developmental work is very slow due to which the people are deprived of the basic facilities.
