Dilapidated NH Stretch Causes Hardships to Public A stretch of the National Highway near BSF Gate in Rajouri town is in a deteriorated condition, causing significant inconvenience to the public. The section of the road, which runs from BSF Gate to Panj Peer, is heavily used by vehicles, pedestrians, schoolchildren, patients, and traders. However, the road is plagued by deep potholes, uneven surfaces, and damaged patches, making travel difficult and unsafe. During the rainy season, water accumulates in the potholes, leading to frequent traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns, and an increased risk of accidents. Local residents have expressed frustration over the lack of action to address the road’s poor state. Despite repeated complaints and requests for repairs, no substantial measures have been taken to restore the highway to a functional condition. Shopkeepers and daily commuters argue that the damaged road not only wastes time and fuel but also endangers lives, particularly for two-wheeler riders and pedestrians. The situation has drawn criticism from the community, with calls for the National Highway authorities and district administration to prioritize the repair and upgradation of the road. Residents demand proper resurfacing, filling of potholes, and measures to ensure smooth traffic flow. They emphasize the need for immediate action to alleviate the daily hardships faced by commuters and ensure the road is safe for all users. The deteriorated condition of the highway highlights the broader challenges of infrastructure maintenance in the region. Without urgent intervention, the road’s condition is likely to worsen, further impacting the lives of those who rely on it for daily travel.#national_highway #rajouri_town #bsf_gate #panj_peer #national_highway_authorities
