Bad road irks Shopian villagers

The residents of Babanad hamlet in south Kashmir’s Shopian district have accused the authorities of failing to repair a vital road stretch in their area which is causing immense hardships to the locals.

According to the residents, at least one kilometer long stretch of road connecting Tuckroo village with Tangwani has multiple potholes, causing trouble to both commuters and pedestrians.

Iftikhar Hussain Shah, a local resident told Greater Kashmir that the road had not been repaired for past many years. “We brought the issue to the notice of authorities umpteen times but nothing has been done so far”, he said, adding that water accumulates in the potholes making the journey on it more difficult.
