SRINAGAR: Constructed in 2005, the marriage hall in Bellow village, located in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, remains unused for weddings due to neglect from local authorities.
Initially built as part of the village’s development initiative, residents now lament its disrepair and lack of functionality.
Mushtaq Ahmad Mir, a local resident, expressed disappointment over the deteriorating condition of the hall, citing administrative inaction despite repeated pleas for assistance.
The absence of a protective wall on the building’s backside has led to it being used as a dumping ground for garbage, exacerbating its decline.
Elderly villagers, when interviewed, echoed a sense of despair over the hall’s continued neglect.
Shabir Ahmad Mir, another resident, proposed repurposing the structure into a Public Health Centre to enhance healthcare services in the area. (KNT)
