RAJOURI AUGUST 14:-The people of Khawas Tehsil continue to suffer due to the extremely poor condition of roads, which become completely unusable even after light rainfall. Local residents report that all link roads are regularly blocked, making transportation impossible and severely affecting daily life across the region.
The worst affected villages include Gunda, Kotcharwal, Gundi, Narla Bambal, Gadyog, Beinambal, Dhaleri, Keri Bhella, Badhal, Dharamsal, and some other areas. Residents of these areas face severe difficulties accessing medical services, schools, and markets due to the poor road infrastructure.
Senior PDP leader Mohammad Farooq Inqilabi voiced strong criticism of the current state of affairs, stating:
“This is sheer injustice to the public. If roads get blocked after just a little rain, it reflects substandard work and rampant corruption. The Kotranka to Khawas main road remains closed for days, isolating entire communities. There is a full-blown system of bribery at work—contractors are paid without doing proper work, and officials turn a blind eye.”
He demanded urgent intervention from the administration and accountability of those responsible for this negligence. Inqilabi also called for an independent audit of the road construction works carried out in the region.
“If corrective measures are not taken immediately,” he warned, “the people will have no choice but to protest on the streets for their basic right to mobility.”
