Another driver Fayaz Ahmad said that, "Shabby condition of the road with potholes in the middle, and dust is proving main hazards to the life and the property of the residents. Every day one or other vehicle hits these potholes resulting in damage to them, said the locals.
The condition of Kreeri- Tilgam via Waripora road is no different one of the other important road connecting Kreeri to Tangmarag, Kreeri to Thindma and other villages is also bumpy and dotted with potholes.
A senior official from R&B department Baramulla wished not to be named said that they have recently repaired the road patches from Kreeri market to upper mohalla and it is not possible to stretch the roads from both the sides as there is hundred years old graveyard.
