Provincial Neglect Continues as Pakistan Army Builds Temporary Bajaur Jar Bridge

However, despite this timely intervention by the military, the provincial government has been criticized for its continued incompetence and neglect. Residents expressed their gratitude to the Pakistan Army, noting that they were in great pain due to the bridge’s destruction until the temporary structure was built. They emphasized that while the Army acted swiftly to ease their burden, the provincial government has failed to perform any follow-up work.

The local community is now demanding that the provincial government utilize provided funds to start permanent repairs immediately. Although a local MPA recently claimed the project had been approved and the provincial government promised that work would begin today, no personnel or machinery have arrived at the site.

The bridge remains in disrepair, and residents lament that no provincial minister has yet taken an interest in restoring this essential connection. “The Pak Army immediately built an iron bridge; may God bless them,” remarked one resident, echoing the collective sentiment of a public still waiting for the civil administration to fulfill its responsibilities.
