EARLY TIMES REPORT

BUDGAM, Jan 18: The winter has already added woes to the miseries besides locals from various areas of this central Kashmir district are in dilapidated conditions, due to which transporters and local masses suffer badly.
Sources said that people living in different villages of Budgam district are facing various difficulties like roads and transportation.
Freezing weather conditions have added more problems in the life of common masses, due to which there is no tap water for many days, besides there are unscheduled power cuts.
The women folk in Archanderhamma Singhpora were seen fetching the water on shoulders from nearby streams and ponds, and that contaminated water could create a serious disease among the children, sources informed.
Locals from Arth village said that their village has been left in no man’s land; the political leaders have failed to resolve their problems. We don’t have good motor-able roads, and the conditions of roads are in dilapidated conditions. “Many times in the past, we brought this matter into the notice of the department concerned; despite many requests the potholes were not filled nor the repair work was done on the dilapidated roads,” said locals of Gutpora Narbal.
Locals said that, there are a number of potholes on it that are further posing a serious threat, especially when snow has accumulated on the link roads, during night hours it gives tough time to the transporters to ply their vehicles from these link roads.
They said that snow was not cleared properly from these roads due to which it poses risks. We have been always ignored for unwanted reasons, even though we took part in the recent DDC elections,” said Abdul Hamid.
There are scores of villages that get connected with the Narbal block including Arath, Bungam, Batpora, Gutpora, Hardulalpora, Chewa, Daharmuna, Soibugh, Kawoosa, Kanihama and other adjacent areas.
The local said that a few years back authorities had assured us that the small bridges would be completed within stipulated time, but the executing agency has failed to construct the bridge in Narbal and Arath, but the promises have remained on shelves so far.
Concerned authorities of R&B should readdress the problems of common masses at the earliest so that we will not suffer in future; otherwise accidents will occur due to in-completion of roads, and bridges and other problems, locals added.
