Construction material dumped on road poses a threat to residents

Rajouri: May 09:—Construction material for under-construction commercial and residential buildings can be witnessed scattered on roads at many places in the city, posing a threat to the lives of commuters.

Construction material such as sand, gravel, iron and bricks can be seen dumped on roads, shrinking the space on the already congested city roads. Sadly, the administration has turned a blind eye towards this problem, so people have no fear of law and keep such material on roads.

It is mandatory for a person to take permission from the MC by paying fee if he wants to dump such material outside their building along the road. In reality, very few people pay fee and take permission from the MC. This is all due to the apathetic attitude of MC officials.
