Rajour: Roads play an important role in the process of development and indirectly responsible for the economic growth of the particular area.So it is important to maintain roads from time to time to ensure public safety.The poor "Roads Connectivity" still remain one of the main problem of the commuters who used to visit daily in different parts of the state. The condition becomes more worst when it comes to border districts of the state i.e Rajouri.The road network is not upto the mark in different parts of Rajouri town.The poor condition of roads is creating many problems to the locals. The vehicles plying on the roads have been badly damaged due to such pathetic conditions of roads around the city.

The worst condition of the roads is not a new thing for the Rajouri town. And in some areas due to bad condition of road, the problem of Traffic Jams, Congestion, Accidents can be seen usually.Every year funds are alloted for its maintance, but the ground reality is totally different. There are still many areas which are being ignored for the last many years. Some of the key areas like the road from Kheora to Dhanore bus stand, is in very bad condition.The district govt.hospital and some of the main educational institutions of Rajouri town, like Govt. P.G.College, Army Goodwill Public School and dozens of private as well as govt. schools, come under this particular route instead of that nothing has been done to upgrade the road connectivity in the said route.In the same way, the road from Kheora to Dharali Bridge and from university morh to Kheora is in pathetic condition for the last couple of years.
"The conditions of roads in Rajouri is not well even crossing zero km distance towards Dharal, Thanamandi, Kalakote, Budhal you will see the deteriorate and defunct condition of roads.Even the roads around the city are not in appropriate condition.So, it is the highest responsibility of the authorities as well as the district administration to make better roads because roads are the first sign of development", added Mr.Shadab, Social activist."The Rajouri bypass Bella Road, Rajouri to Gurdan Balla, Rajouri to Palulian, Rajouri to Choudhary Nar and Rajouri to Chawa roads are in shambles. Besides, the condition of the inner link roads in the town is no different", locals complained.
Taking exclusively to The New Now, Mr.Mohd. Zubair, Executive Engineer, P.W.D, Rajouri said that we have already started working on some prime projects like work on alternate road from new Abdullah bridge to Kheora is in full swing."As far as Circular Road is concerned, which would connect new Abdullah bridge to Tariq bridge via court complex, tendering process would be floated very soon and work would be started within next one month accordingly", added Mr.Zubair.
