Dhir Kot Road presents very pathetic look nowadays

This is sad story of a road of Azad Kashmir which is called Kohala
Dhir Kot Road in District Bagh which presents a very pathetic look
nowadays. This road was constructed by local people in 1947 and 1948
to combat Indian forces which occupied major area of Kashmir in 1947.
This road helped Mujahideen a lot. But it is very sad that the road
was neglected in past. However, Sardar Atiq Ahmad after becoming Prime
Minster of Azad Kashmir started its widening and alignment. He ordered
its digging on war footing from Kohala to Dhir Kot but he was ousted
from the premiership in January 2009 through a no confidence move by
the legislative Assembly of Azad Kashmir. It is very sad again that
the work on this road was stopped by the new government of Sardar
Yaqub Khan. This speaks of some kind of misunderstanding in the mind
of the new Prime Minster of Azad Kashmir.
People of this area request the new Prime Minster of Azad Kashmir to
immediately restart work on this road so that it may be able to be
used for smooth transportation. This will create a lot of goodwill for
Sardar Yaqub Khan’s government in minds of people who face tremendous
problems while passing through this road. This is just 30 Kilometer
road. There are other roads in Azad Kashmir as well where people are
complaining of same situation. If we are in an age of development as
claimed by people at helm of affairs all these roads should be made
useable for commuters.
