Both regions depend on it for their crops. There were complaints and we have been on the ground for days with the Chief Minister reviewing the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Choudhary, said the administration is focused on addressing public grievances. \u201cWe cannot fight nature, but we are trying. We had a review meeting with officers this morning in Budgam and are now visiting affected areas to ensure immediate relief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>About Chadoora Bridge, which has been partially damaged, the Deputy CM said the government will act against illegal mining. \u201cWe do not want revenue from illegal mining that damages infrastructure. If a bridge worth Rs 6 crore is damaged to earn Rs 1 crore revenue, it is unacceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Chief Minister also said, \u201cRs 3 crore DPR for the bridge and nearby road will be sanctioned soon.
