| Schemes Constructed
by IRD (Sharaid Foot Suspension Bridge) |
The main problem was the communication between Sharaid and surrounding
villages on the other side of the river. There used ti be a
traditional wooden cantilever bridge, which link Shariad with
other villages, but during the devastating 1992 flood, this
bridge swept away .The community used to construct the temporary
wooden bridge each year and the community feel a dire need to
construct permanent bridge.
The bridge constructed by PCDP links Sharaid , Kuz Seer ,Bar
Seer and the other surrounding villages .The total direct beneficiaries
are 963 and there will be indirect beneficiaries will use occasionally
use the bridge. The villagers have about 1099 Livestock and
they are using the bridge for crossing the river.

of Water mills and river protection spur. Site is located
near to the high flood level but there was no other communal
land .Keeping in mind the risk involved and repeated request
