Sanagar villagers near Jammu still using rope bridge

Sangar (Jammu), Nov.26 : Residents of Sangar Village in Jammu have been looking for a proper bridge for over decades.

Sangar and its adjoining villages, comprising 20,000 people, in Jammu are compelled to depend on a rope bridge as their sole medium of connectivity.

In 1983, the only bridge that was constructed here by the then-ruling government was washed away during a flood. A steel trolley was then fitted by the Public Works Department that is used even today.

The trolley has a pulley attached to it and has to be toed with bare hands. Many end up wounding their limbs in this process.
