The Kakovthal-Nambelnar road in the Kreeri area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district is in a dilapidated condition almost for the last three years causing inconvenience to people, particularly commuters traveling on the stretch every day.
A delegation of locals told Good Morning Kashmir that the dilapidated condition of the road is giving tough time to the commuters.
They said that in absence of repairs, potholes have developed on a large stretch of the road.
“The road is dotted with potholes and is in dire need of repair. This stretch is giving a bumpy ride to the commuters,” said Mohammad Ramzan, a local resident of Kakovthal village.
Abdul Rehman, another local resident, said that the concerned department has shown no interest towards this road for the past many years.
“This all important road has not been macadamised for years now. Though various other roads which are of least importance have been upgraded and maintained,” Rehman said, adding that no attempt was made to get the road repaired and our requests have fallen on deaf ears.
The transporters in area said that the dilapidated condition of the road has affected the vehicular movement on it. “I ply my cab on this route but I need to get its wheels aligned or changed in a short period of time. This has become a new headache for us,” said Ubaid Ahmad, a cab driver.
Locals said that they have taken up this issue a number of times with the concerned authorities but to no avail.
The locals have now appealed the Lt Guv led administration to come to their rescue.
