Early Times Report
MENDHAR, July 3: Strong resentment is brewing among the residents here against failure of the authorities to undertake repairs of the Mendhar BG Gali road. Upping their ante, the aggrieved local residents have demanded suspension of toll tax collection till the road is repaired.
The condition of the roads is so bad that most of the motorists have stopped to ply their vehicles on the stretch. The road at many places including Mendhar Dhargloon TV Tower and BG main Chowk is dotted with potholes posing risk of accidents.
The locals said the general reserve engineering force (GREF) has failed to undertake even minor repairs of the vital road. On the other side, the local panchayat collects toll tax from the vehicles passing through the road maintained by the GREF.
“Government should stop collection of toll tax till repairs of the road is undertaken,” said Sarpanch and Social Worker Majid Khatana. Stressing for immediate repairs of the road, the civil society members said if the GREF failed to undertake immediate repairs, they will launch an agitation against it.
Meanwhile, the Taxi Union has also expressed concern over the bad condition of the road saying it has drastically affected their business. The President of the Union said the public transport owners have hiked fare rates due to bad condition of the road
