Adil Ahmad, a local of Ikhrajpora said that in dry weather, extremely bad condition of road results in emanation of dust. “The dust enters into residential houses and also makes it difficult to breathe especially for those who are commuting on foot and riding two-wheelers,” he said.
They said commuters are having a tough time as authorities have failed to carry out macadamization of the road.
“It seems authorities have forgotten this road and left the people to suffer,” locals said.
“The bad condition of roads not only gives the commuters a tough time but it also consumes a lot of their time in reaching from one place to another. The passenger vehicles have suffered damages due to bad condition of the roads,” they said.
Locals have also requested the district administration to look into their grievances and take necessary steps so that they won’t suffer anymore.
