The residents of Check Sodal area of Handwara area in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district Tuesday showed strong resentment against authorities for failing to repair and macadamise their road resulting in severe hardship to the commuters and locals.
Residents complained that the road in Check Sodal was in complete shambles giving tough time to commuters. They said that this road has never been macadamized in the last five years even after approaching the DDC as well as other concerned authorities numerous times.
They said that the road connects over dozens of villages but has not been a priority for the concerned authorities.
“This road is in pathetic condition and has been left unattended by concerned authorities with the result commuters and especially school going children are the worst hit,” locals said.
Residents said that they have brought this issue many times into the notice of Roads and Buildings (R&B) Department, but after passing of several years nothing concrete has materialised so far.
”This was the road built decades ago, and since then it is a victim of official neglect,” 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.
