Dilapidated road in Tral results in hardships for commuters

Tral, Aug 02: The connecting road from Kahlil in Tral to Nagabal village, spanning over 2 km, has deteriorated significantly, causing immense hardship for passengers and vehicle owners alike.

The road’s deplorable condition has sparked widespread outrage among locals, who claim that the PMGSY department’s failure to complete the approved 7 km road project from Tral to Nagbal has exacerbated the issue.

According to sources, only 5 km of the road was constructed, with the remaining 2 km left unfinished due to alleged technical issues. Instead, an additional 2 km stretch was built from Sherabad to Tral, leaving the Nagabal route in disarray.

Residents of Zarihar, Bagander, Mahchhama, Peer Mohalla, Chan Mohalla, Burn Pathri, Panadi, Kanga Lora, and Ada Pathhri, who rely heavily on this road, have appealed to the administration, particularly the R&B Department, to intervene and address the issue.

The R&B department acknowledged the road’s dilapidated state and assured that a plan is underway, although approval is pending.

An officer who visited the site acknowledged that certain sections of the road have worsened and promised to find a temporary solution to alleviate public suffering.

The locals demanded immediate action to repair the road and complete the original project to prevent further inconvenience and economic losses.
