Scores of residents from Kralweth, Check-i-Charathram, Uchlipora, Mughama, and adjacent villages of district Baramulla Tuesday expressed resentment against Roads and Buildings department for failing to macadamize 4-kilometer Kralweth-Mughama road from the last 10 years.
The aggrieved residents said that the road reflects a look of a ‘riverbank’ during rains.
“To reach reach Kralweth from our village would hardly take 10 minutes via this link road but now it takes more than that to reach the destination,” said Haris Ahmad, a resident of Mughama.
In the past, the villagers had approached the civil administration demanding macadamization of the road but despite assurances, no work was done, alleged locals.
“This was the road built decades ago, and since then it is a victim of official neglect,” said Showkat Ahmad Hajam, another local resident of the village.
The residents alleged that other villages of this area are well covered with tar coal but this link road from Kralweth to Mughama has been left without macadamization.
The residents appealed to Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha led administration and Chief Engineer R&B to look into the issue, so that problem will be resolved as soon as possible.
