Talking to Kashmir News Service (KNS), locals said that before three years work was stated on this road it is still pending and the department has failed to repair it.

They said that the 7 kilometer stretch of road from Kaloosa  to Gurdal  is in shambles and dotted with potholes, putting them to a lot of hardships. 

Locals said that the distance that can be covered in 20 minutes is covered in more one  hour owing to potholes all over the road.
