Excelsior Correspondent
DODA, Jan 12: Poor road conditions have caused a lot of problems for a large number of residents in the village of Kota Kharangal in the Sub Division Gandoh-Bhalessa of the district Doda.
Around five thousand residents of Gujjar Basti Kota Top, Manghotra Mohallah, Magray Mohallah, Panchayat Kharangal are demanding blacktopping of the road from Ralla to Kharangal Kota top, along with proper lane and drain construction, as they have been suffering greatly from poor road conditions for a long time.
A local told Excelsior that this road is hazardous and dangerous to drive on because it has large pits and trenches, resembles a Nallah in some spots, and gets extremely slick in the winter and during rainy seasons.
The local residents have urged LG, Manoj Sinha and Deputy Commissioner Doda, Harvinder Singh to intervene and get the problem resolved as this road connects several villages of the areas.
