The residents of Palulian area in Rajouri district are up in arms against the authorities for dilapidated condition of roads.

Residents told GNS that the authorities are playing hide and seek with us as construction and widening of Rajouri to Palulian road in Rajouri district is still incomplete and is in shambles from several years.

A local resident, Ibrar Qureshi, claimed that the concerned authorities have failed to macadamize and widening of the road as they were lying in dilapidated condition from past few years.

He said the bad condition of roads become a nuisance, especially during rains.

A road from Rajouri to Palulian is in bad condition and administration is sleeping, Said a resident Nissar Ahmed.

He said that the roads are badly damaged that rainfall leaves no way for us to walk on as long strips of numerous roads turn into heaps of mud, adding that “the dilapidated road poses a risk of accidents and gets waterlogged after every rainfall.”

The commuters of Palulian are having a tough time as the PMGSY Department has failed to carry out necessary repair of the roads.

Locals have also requested the district administration to look into their grievances and take necessary steps so that they won’t suffer anymore.
