            Besides the above figures, there is a routine of accidents every month, several precious lives are lost but nothing more than condoling the deaths and expressing shocks and grief were done by government and any authority. Regrettably no one tried to look into the root cause of accidents and came out with a plan or suggestion to decrease the frequency of accidents.
            The association has submitted its report to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), President of India, Union Ministry of Roadways. The association has requested early opening on Traffic check Points in Bhalessa valley.

Bhalessa Religious Canvas Sadaket Malik MARKAZI JAMIA MASJID AND KALGONI TEMPLE THE   area has several temples in the vernacular style in Bhalessa area. Some of them are in Bheja and Gandoh. The main temple Kalgoni may be a typical example such temples and is located at an idyllic location on the top of a ridge, providing a magnificent panoramic view on all sides. Most of the temples are surrounded with thick deodar trees, away from habitation.

 CUSSED ROADS Bhalessa has a very tough terrain so the communication system/means of transportation is very difficult. The area is located in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir is still facing step motherly treatment and authorities are reluctant to act as the transportation in the area is in a bad shape. In this age of digitalization, the area is witnessing an acute transport like buses for the poor masses to travel from one hamlet to another.           Notwithstanding claims of the successive state governments to accelerate developmental activities in the remotest areas of the Jammu region, the Bhalessa area of Doda district exposes all claims of the authorities to take "revolutionary" steps for the development and betterment of the neglected and the remote areas. However, the area is evidence that except slogans the authorities failed to speed up road connectivity.
