Roads are the most vital component of infrastructure and important measure of growth and development of a society. Better roads represent the real health of a nation and the pace of its development. In modern times with rapid modernization of the transport system, the importance of roads, particularly the improved and safe roads becomes essential. During the last more than a decade, the road network in the whole subcontinent has improved significantly. Indian roads have entered into a new era of transformation and expansion. By its standards and importance, Kashmir also got its share. However, as always the harsh winters, short working season and the political turmoil play a negative role in infrastructure development in the valley. And Kashmir roads are the worst hit on this front!
