The residents of Hercheck – Pattan area of north Kashmir’s district Baramulla on Tuesday expressed dismay over the dilapidated condition of the link road from Nihalpora to Hercheck.
Locals of the area said that a 2 kilometers long road link from Nihalpora to Hercheck is completely dilapidated and the concerned authorities have been turning a blind eye towards it and have not taken any development works or resurfacing of the road, causing inconvenience to commuters.
”This was the road built decades ago, and since then it is a victim of official neglect,” said Ali Mohammad, a local resident.
The residents speaking to Good Morning Kashmir said that, despite passing decades, the concerned department has not repaired the road. “During summers, the road is dusty. People of the area, face immense hardship as the road is always dusty,” locals said.
They said that the concerned department has failed to macadamize the 2 km road for several years now.
“We approached the concerned department many a time, but nothing on the ground has been done to alleviate our problems,” they said, adding that they have been just pacified with hollow assurances.
In the past, we had approached the authorities demanding macadamization of the link road but despite promises, no work was done”, said Mohd Ashraf, a local resident of Nihalpora.
“We urge the administration to repair and macadamize the road on priority,” locals said.
