Kanlibagh- Sangri road in shambles
Baramulla, Jan 7: Despite patchwork carried out recently by the department of Roads and Buildings the Kanlibagh- Sangri road near mini-secretariat Baramulla here in north Kashmir is still in shambles.
Large potholes have emerged again at the same place where the patchwork was recently done by the R&B department. Locals said that continuous leakage of underground pipes leads to reemergence of pot holes.
"We approached the officials of Public Health Engineering department on many occasions and apprised them about the leakage but our pleas fell on deaf ears as no action has been taken till date,” they added.
Locals are also furious over the lack of coordination between the different departments operating in the area. According to locals the patchwork should have been carried out after changing the underground pipes. “Water has got accumulated in large potholes making it difficult for motorists and the pedestrians to pass through this stretch," said Arif Hussain.
Residents of Kanlibagh have urged the PHE authorities to take immediate measures to stop the leakage of water in the underground pipes.
