The announcements were widely welcomed by residents, who termed the revival of the health project a landmark step for the area.
“We have been waiting for the completion of the health centre for years. The revival of the project has renewed our hopes and we expect work to begin soon,” a local resident told Kashmir News Zone -the media journal.
