Chadoora: Residents of Takiya village in Nagam area of Budgam district have been suffering the administration’s apathy for more than a decade now with a shabby, unpaved road going uphill to their houses.
The authorities have failed to lay even the basic crushed stone metal on the about 500-feet link road from Lolipora to Takiya, a few metres from the main Chadoora-Chrar-i-Sharif road.
The literally bare road is a nuisance to the residents throughout the year. In summers, the plumes of dust emanating from the road blind them whenever a vehicle passes by. During rains and winter, the muddy and slippery road becomes dangerous to even walk on, especially for children and elders who are likely to suffer a fall and injure themselves every time they venture out.
