Sir,
It is a matter of pride for the Jammuites that the portion of National Highway from Kunjwani Bye Pass to Udhampur is being readied for opening which will take place shortly. This road has given a fresh and modern look to some of the neglected areas of Jammu region and has given reasons to the populace of these areas to start making their livelihood better.
The road is being laid and looked after by NHIA who have left no stone unturned to give it a serene look but it is apprehended that like other roads of the state, this road might also be covered with hoardings of different sizes particularly from Nagrota up to Domail and give it a shabby look as has been done to the road stretch from Domail to Katra.
If the concerned Government agencies and the officials responsible do not take a timely measure, this road might fall prey to the Paharganj Culture and this needs to be addressed and strict measures put in place before any damage is done to it. The concerned agencies of Reasi District had recently taken steps to reduce this menace, but the Domail – Katra road is still in shambles as even after removing most of these uneven structures, many still remain giving the entire area a bad look and defacement is still visible. Also the wild life department, the Forest Department and others responsible should take an early note of these issues and fix measures to save all roads and the environment.
Yours etc….
