RAMBAN, JULY 27: Continuing the monitoring of restoration works, Deputy Commissioner Ramban, Mohammad Alyas Khan, today visited the landslide and subsidence-affected area at Pernote on the Ramban-Gool Road to assess the damage caused by recent heavy rainfall and review the ongoing restoration operations.
Senior Superintendent of Police Ramban Arun Gupta, Assistant Commissioner Revenue Shokat Hayat Mattoo, Tehsildar Deep Kumar and other concerned officers accompanied the Deputy Commissioner during the inspection.
During the visit, the Deputy Commissioner inspected the restoration works being carried out by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) on the nearly 300-metre stretch of the Ramban-Gool Road that has suffered major subsidence.
Interacting with the officers at the site, the Deputy Commissioner reviewed the progress of the restoration works. He was informed that restoration operations are being carried out with the deployment of adequate manpower and heavy machinery to clear debris and restore the damaged road stretch.
The Deputy Commissioner directed the executing agency to further accelerate the restoration works by deploying additional machinery and manpower to ensure the early restoration of traffic on the affected road.
Emphasising public safety, the Deputy Commissioner appealed to residents and commuters to avoid visiting or moving close to the subsidence-affected area, as the ground remains unstable and vulnerable to further sliding.
