With the completion of this Road, it will significantly shorten the distance between several villages and help commuters reach their respective destinations in the shortest possible time, said another local.

He also said,“We are fed up with the slow pace of work and our hopes of seeing this road completed have died down now. We don’to know how much more time it will take authorities to complete this road,”

Locals also appealed Executive Engineer R&B Ganderbal to take strict action against contractor or black list this contractor who delayed construction work of road.
