Inhabitants of Firdousabad area in Batamaloo have expressed strong resentment against dilapidated road in the area.
A delegation from the area said that the road leading to Tengpora from Firdousabad side is dotted with potholes causing inconvenience to commuters.
“During the rainy season, we are unable to move out. It is in shambles and even pedestrians are facing inconvenience to walk on the road. We have time and again appealed to the authorities to look into the issue but nothing is being done,” they said.
“I prefer to take long routes than to travel by this road as it has turned very dangerous for the commuters as well as for our vehicles,” said Anees Ahmad, a commuter, adding that lots of vehicles got badly hit by these deep ditches of the road.
The locals rued the “step-motherly” approach by authorities and said the dilapidated condition of the road is causing inconvenience to people.
“We do not demand authorities to macadamize the roads but at least they can patch the potholes which they have failed to do despite repeated requests,” they said.
Residents and commuters appealed to Chief Engineer R&B, to look into the matter, so that people would get sigh of relief from daily problems.
