Handwara-Wader road lies in shambles

The poor condition of the 18 km Handwara-Wader road has badly affected people.

The residents said that the road has developed huge potholes on multiple spots causing immense hardships for the commuters.

"The concerned department has taken us for a ride thereby compelling us to register a protest. For the last one year we have been requesting them for repair of the road but to no avail," said a local.

Even transporters of the area are anguished over the pathetic condition of the road. "Our vehicles get damaged day in and day out due to huge potholes on this road. Even the travel which usually should take twenty minutes takes fifty minutes," said a local cab driver.

The residents have now requested Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Handwara Aziz Ahmad Rather to take a call on this important issue so that the hardships being faced by over twenty thousand people may end.
