The Himachal Pradesh High Court has taken note of a representation regarding the long delay in building a bridge over the Pabber River at Seema. The bridge is part of the RCD Road under the Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department's Chirgaon Sub-Division and Rohru Division. The representation also raised concerns about delays in other bridge projects in the area.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia and Justice Bipin Chander Negi treated the representation filed by Ajay Dhawan as a public interest litigation (PIL). The court has asked the state government to respond to the matter.
The Bench directed the Himachal Pradesh government to submit a detailed report on the progress of the Seema bridge project and address the concerns raised in the representation. The case will be heard next on August 31.
The representation called for construction of the long-pending bridge over the Pabber river at Seema to begin without further delay. It said the prolonged wait for the bridge has caused difficulties for local residents and commuters who regularly use the route.
