The tall claims of the government about improving road quality notwithstanding, majority of the roads across Kupwara are in dilapidated condition.
Locals of Handwara complained that one of the important roads, Handwara to Ramhal and adjoining villages, is dotted with potholes for a year now. “This road connects several villages of Ramhal area with the sub-district headquarter Handwara. Due to its pathetic condition, commuters including the students, patients and employees face immense hardships to reach their respective destinations,” a local Nazir Ahmad said.
“The commercial drivers refuse to ply on this route,” a local Irshad Ahmad of Wodiopra said.
