Repair Sainik Colony-Ratnuchak road
I am writing to bring to your attention to the deplorable condition of Sainik Colony to Ratnuchak road which has caused severe distress among the local residents of Ratnuchak & adjoining area. This road is the only connectivity for commuters from Sainik Colony to Ratnuchak and further to Rajpur Khollar, Birpur, Purmandal and Other areas. The road is being extensively used by school buses of Heritage School and Army establishment in the vicinity. The roads is riddled with potholes, and the streets are often flooded due to poor drainage systems. These conditions have made commuting extremely difficult and dangerous for the residents. The said road has fallen into severe disrepair, causing significant frustration and concern among residents.
Despite numerous appeals and complaints, the Public Works Department (PWD) has failed to address the issue, leaving the community stranded and at risk. The potholes have caused numerous accidents, and the stagnant water has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to an increase in mosquito-borne diseases. The situation worsens during the rainy season, making it almost impossible to navigate through the streets.
I urge the newly elected MLA of Jammu South, JMC ward No 68 & other authorities to take immediate action to repair the roads and improve the drainage systems. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prevent such issues in the future and ensure the safety and well-being of the residents.

Replace broken electric pole
The electric pole adjoining the transfomer at Street number 14 in sector 6, Guru Nanak Nagar stands broken. A reinforcement strip has been applied to secure it instead of replacing it. Despite that it is tilted and prone to falling.This is located on busy Guru Nanak Nagar- Preet Nagar road. Big risk of its falling down with weight and subsequent danger of massive electrocution looms large. Concerned authorities are requested to please change the same with new one at earliest.

Complete Jammu Akhnoor road
Deputy Commissioner Jammu should take a strict cognizance of the matter pertaining to completion of Jammu-Akhnoor road as the work of the said road is lingering from past several years as no one is paying heed to this work and first of all complete the work on bridge between Muthi Goan and Dream city stretch on priority and make it functional as soon as possible as one witnesses traffic jams everyday there and that round the clock traffic jam there is a reason and cause of accidents.

Remove hazardous speed breakers
While acknowledging the need for authorized speed breakers, Deeli residents are suffering due to two illegal and hazardous speed breakers on Deeli Jodhamal Public School Road. Unlike the effective, authorized speed breakers near the school, these unapproved additions are causing immense distress. These poorly designed speed breakers are a nightmare for pregnant women, critical patients in ambulances, and cyclists/two-wheeler riders, risking serious accidents. The jarring impact is a daily assault on our community’s well-being. We urgently request concerned authorities to remove or replace these unauthorized speed breakers with properly designed ones. Our safety depends on immediate action.

Plea to JMC Commissioner
In spite of regular complaints to JMC Commissioner, Jammu our locality in Bhagwati Nagar Extn. (adjoining DBN School gate from Bhagwati Nagar side ) is not being attended. There are three pits on the road which causes accidents to Motor Vehicles and regular walkers. The road is also shabby and drainage system is not working properly. There is a big nallah flowing which is the cause of many diseases in the area. The complaint No. to JMC is 44498. The street lights are not being repaired and because of that many problems have arisen. I request JMC to attend the work immediately.

Traffic jams in Channi Himmat
I have experienced that there is constant traffic jams in every Square (Chok of the colony, especially in the evenings. The position is horrible on the road opposite to sectors 3 and 4 as this is housing a lot eateries and other commercial establishments. Also the chowk near cremation ground sector 3 and Bikaner sweets as well as in the chowk connecting Trikuta Nagar, marbel market, Channi Himmat on the side of canal. The position on other chowks of the colony like Surya chowk, Tawi shope sector 2 and near overhead water tanks touching sector 1 and 6 is no better. The reason seems to be the wrong parkings, excitment to by pass others etc. We want that at least Traffic lights be got installed in traffic busy Chowks and a team of dedicated Traffic Officers be deputed to have rounds of the area broadcasting the violations and challaning the violators. The traffic Magistrates can be requested to be available on the spot. Periodical such exercise shall definitely improve positions and residents will have a sigh of relief.
