In a surprising move, a Mansehra contractor pulled apart the bridge he constructed after non-payment of authorities, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
As per the details, a local contractor was reportedly given the contract for the reconstruction of a bridge that was swept away in the recent floods in Mansehra’s Munawar Valley by the Kaghan Development Authority (KDA).
After failing to get his dues from the authority, the Mansehra contractor pulled apart the bridge he constructed to express his anger.
On the other hand, the KDA has said that they have nothing to do with the bridge constructed at Munawar Nullah and they only provided funds for the installation of a chairlift in the area.
