BUDGAM Dec 7 (KNS): Jammu & Kashmir RTI Movement has appealed to Chief Engineer PWD (R&B) Kashmir and Deputy Commissioner Budgam to repair a small road stretch in Jabbad village of Surasray block in Budgam district as the road has been damaged during 2014 flash floods and till date hasn't been repaired.

In a statement issued to news agency-kashmir news service(KNS), Chairman RTI Movement Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that last year an ailing lady from Zilsidara near Jabbad village died when she could not be taken to hospital as the road was blocked in this village. The road is again in shambles and needs immediate repairs.

" It is really unfortunate that even after 6 years the road continues to be bad as there was massive soil erosion in the area post 2014 floods. For the last 6 years the locals have been urging District Administration Budgam to repair the road but they are least bothered. I again request DC Budgam and Chief Engineer PWD Kashmir to address this burning issue as it will cause lots of problems for locals in coming winter as traffic movement will get completely restricted in the rea " said Dr Raja Muzaffar.(KNS)
