Srinagar, Oct 25: The road in Brien Nishat leading to several areas is in shambles for the last more than 5 years even as the concerned department, as well as the concerned Municipal Corporator, has failed in taking the necessary action in this regard.
The locals told Excelsior that they are facing several issues due to the dilapidated condition of the road while authorities are turning a deaf ear towards the demands of the people living in the areas connected by the road.
The road starting from Syed Rehmannia Stop in Brien Nishat leads to areas such as Manzgam, Meebagh and Ganai Muhalla. The locals said that the road stretch of more than 1 kilometre is in the worst condition.
“The authorities have completely failed in repairing the road which is connecting several areas, even as the concerned Corporator has been acting lazy in getting the road repaired,” Abdul Hamid, a resident said.
The locals said that while the authorities have macadamized the majority of roads in Srinagar, city, their area has been left out. “The commuters are facing several problems, the travel down takes consumes more time; it is an issue which needs to be addressed immediately,” the residents said.
The residents have appealed to the District Administration Srinagar, as well as the concerned officials of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation to look into the matter and take necessary measures to repair the road which is in shambles.
