SRINAGAR, Jan 31: The road in the main Town of North Kashmir’s Kupwara district is in shambles and has developed potholes even as it was macadamised last year in the month December.
Local residents said the black topping of the road leading to Sopore in Kupwara was done in December. “However if seen today it seems the black-topping was done decades ago because of potholes. Either the material was substandard or the work was not done as standards,” said a local.
He said not only the road in Main Town is in shambles but Kupwara -Kalaroos road is also in bad condition. “The other link roads like Sarkuli-Parraypora is also in poor condition,” he added.
The residents appealed the concerned authorities to immediately repair the roads with quality material. “If the work is not done as per standard then the roads would present the same picture. The concerned authorities should utilize the money in right direction,” said the residents.
