PATNITOP, May 2: Extremely bad condition of road from Kassal Morh, Karlah village to Patnitop is troubling the locals for the past some time.
A stretch of the road had washed away due to torrential rains, which also damaged the road at some other places.
Even as local residents have brought the matter into the notice of Patnitop Development Authority to repair the road, no action has yet been taken in this regard. A formal memorandum seeking action was also submitted by the local villagers to the concerned officers who are seemed to have turned a nelson eye towards the problem.
As the Patnitop Development Authority is not responding to repeated pleas of the locals, the condition of road is turning from bad to worse.
Some villagers, who approached the Excelsior, narrated the hardships being faced by them due to dilapidated condition of the road. The washed away stretch has created a nallah in the road, which is now rendered completely non feasible for vehicular movement thus forcing the locals to march on foot for reaching their destinations.
Urging the Patnitop Development Authority and concerned officers to look into the matter and start immediate repair of the road, the villagers have also threatened to hold protests if no action is taken in this regard.
