The said Road alignment is only possible alignment to connect the 40,000 population of Marwah & Warwan valley to District H.Q Kishtwar. Because in winter season Margan Top remains covered with Heavy snow. Moreover due to construction of this route, migration of local people from Marwah & Warwan Valley should be in favour of upliftment of this remote area. Moreover due to construction of this road accessibility in far flung Kishtwar High altitude would be possible
