While the commuters and pedestrians face lot of inconvenience due to digging up of various roads in Shopian district, it is also taking a toll on local business.
Local residents say that over past one month a private telecom company has been cutting the metalled roads in and around town to lay an Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) which causes a whole host of problems to them.
“Due to the continuous digging, the streets are littered with muck and it has become almost impossible to walk on such streets comfortably,” said Javaid Ahmad, a local resident.
Ahmad said that the roads in the town were burrowed almost throughout the year to lay one or other utility line.
