| Kalibari-Sheheedi chowk a death trap | | | Early Times Report
Kathua, Sept 3- Patch of the damaged link road on the Kalibari to Sheheedi Chowk near Karan Nagar has virtually become a death trap for two- wheelers as everyday accidents take place on the road due to potholes.
Commuters and pedestrians in the city have to face various hardships due to the potholed road while the authorities have failed to repair it.
Local residents and pedestrians rue that despite their repeated requests the authorities have not taken any action to repair it.
This place has become a frequent accident spot due to the potholes in it. Everyday two to three people get injured due to the accidents at this place said Suresh Sharma a local shopkeeper.
He said recently we shifted one person to hospital after his motorcycle met with an accident at the spot as he over looked the potholes.
The residents say every year the contract to mend the patch is given to a contractor who fills the potholes with mud and cover it with coal tar and when ever it rains, the potholes come up again.
The authorities seem to be least bothered about the accidents that take place here. I think they are waiting for a major tragedy to take place after which they will wake up to repair the road said Ajay Singh a residents of Karan Nagar. He said whenever a driver overlooks the potholes, he meets with accident. The situation is worst for two- wheelers.
People of the town request the DDC Kathua to inspect the site so that he may himself feel the exigency to avoid the major causality which can occur at any time.
