Rajouri: 14 July.:-Commuters suffer, PMGSY Department in slumber

Failure of PMGSY Department to undertake repairs of vital Tarpai Pull to Fatehpur Khass.

In absence of repairs, the road is dotted with dozens of potholes subjecting commuters to inconvenience.

“The dilapidated road poses risk of accidents. Several vehicles have been damaged due to deep potholes. We have apprised the concerned authorities about the matter but to no action was taken,” *said Mohd Basharat, a resident of Fatehpur.*

The locals told *GNS* the *Fatehpur* road has caved in at several places. This has endangered the commuters. It is ironical that Roads and PMGSY has failed to take measures to even fill up the potholes to prevent accidents on the busy stretch,” they said.

They said problem is compounded by blocked drains. Due to slight rains, locals said a vast stretch of road from *Tarpai Pull to Fatehpur* gets water-logged. They appealed the District Development Commissioner Rajouri to look into the matter.

Executive Engineer PMGSY Department, Mohammed Farooq Chowdhary said “repairs of the road has been delayed due to rains. We will undertake repairs after weather improves.”
