EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Mar 9: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Jammu has expressed grave concern over the bad condition of roads due to which many accidents are taking place every year.
AAP leader Gurmeet Singh said that a poor condition of roads is one of the major causes of road accidents. Though not all accidents are caused by poor roads, however, poor roads play quite a significant role in these accidents.
This problem of poor roads is quite widespread in J&K. Especially during and after the monsoons the roads are badly damaged.
Singh said that in the cities, the drains get damaged. Quite frequently these broken drains and uncovered manholes become the causes of the accidents. These accidents can be stopped by making quality roads and timely repair of the broken roads, poor drainage system and insanitary conditions of roads.
The condition of the roads has gone from bad to worse in various parts of the Jammu city. It has become a herculean task for motorists, especially two-wheeler riders to commute on these roads, said AAP leader adding that the maintenance of roads is poor. It was the result of a single heavy shower that almost all the roads have developed dangerous potholes, said AAP leader Mehar Singh
Aam Aadmi Party J&K leaders Raj Kumar Nischal, Rajesh Bali, Gurmeet Singh, Sher Singh, N P Singh, Rajni Jamwal, Tanvir Rather and Jatinder Pal Singh appealed to the Lieutenant Governor, Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to look into the matter and take prompt action to address the problem. |
