Jammu and Kashmir government is planning to construct six new bridges in Tangmarg area of Baramulla district to connect various villages, agriculture minister Ghulam Hassan Mir said today.

To cost around Rs 15 crore, the new bridges will boost horticulture and other economic activities of the area throughout the year as the fruit bowl region will be well connected by roads, he said.

Work on these bridges, which are a long-pending demand of the villagers, will start soon, the minister said at a public meeting at Hardi-Sherue Kunzar, 45 kms from here.

He said an irrigation project worth Rs 34 crore has been approved by the state government to upgrade major canals in Tangmarg for the benefit of farmers.
