Inhabitants of Sawni village in Rajouri district have expressed their resentment against officials of the public works (R&B) department claiming that a road, which was blacktopped just 20 days ago, had developed potholes and had been damaged at several places.
Speaking on behalf of villagers, R Choudhary, a local, said a similar complaint had also been received from other areas as the contractors in nexus with officials were using poor quality material.
Villagers have appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to initiate an inquiry and take action against the officials and the contractor.
