MENDHAR, Aug 25: Almost all the interior roads of Mendhar town and its adjoining areas in Poonch district are in dilapidated condition, resulting into most inconvenience to the people.
Thousands of people commute on this road on daily basis and presently it is in deplorable condition, the locals said, adding that condition of road deteriorates further in the rainy season.
Local residents, Kafeel Khan and Shabab Khan alleged that the general public is getting upset due to the negligence of the Road construction agencies including GREF. Many times the officials of the department were told about this problem but they have not taken up any repair work on this road. They further said that several road accidents take place quite often due to bad condition of road but nobody takes cognizance of the matter.
The residents appealed to the concerned authorities including District Administration Poonch and the Lt Governor of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to intervene and issue necessary directions to the concerned authorities.
