Summary:
Residents of Sarmarg and adjacent villages in north Kashmir's Handwara Sub District Friday alleged that although the health sub center located at Sarmarg was upgraded to New Type Primary Health Centre (NTPHC) in a previous cabinet decision in 2014 but that project remained confined to papers only. Residents said that soon after the cabinet decision of up gradation of health sub center a doctor was deputed here but after a few months he left coming here due to the reasons best known to the concerned authorities.
