Dilapidated roads irk Nawab Bazar inhabitants

Srinagar, Dec 10: Residents of Nawab Bazar area in Downtown have demanded repairs of dilapidated roads in the locality.

A delegation of aggrieved residents from the area said the roads in the area were dug up over eight months ago for laying drainage pipes. They said the roads were filled up haphazardly by concerned authorities.

“Authorities did not undertake proper filing or macadamisation of the roads. Now the uneven surface and potholes hamper smooth vehicular and pedestrian movement,” they said.

The locals said vehicles are getting damaged on a daily basis after passing through uneven surfaces from Nawaz Bazar to Pather Masjid at Zaina Kadal “There is a risk of accidents due to dilapidated roads. We have been moving from pillar to post, however our requests to repair the roads have met with deaf ears. We make a fervent appeal to Deputy Commissioner Srinagar to look into the matter and direct the concerned authorities to repair the road at earliest,” they said.
