Srinagar: Locals in Batmaloo blocked
the national highway in protest against water logging and the drainage failure
in the area.
According to the reports received by KNS, the worst
traffic jam was witnessed at the main Batmaloo- Tengpora road as the people of
the area in large numbers blocked the roads and protested against the
authorities over the failure of drainage system. Locals also accuse that the
normal life in the area is being affected at large due to the water lodging
problems erupting due to the drainage failure.
Talking to KNS, the locals while protesting against the
authorities told KNS that they at several time approached the government-
urging it to tackle the crises. Locals also accused that the authorities
turned ‘blind-eye’ towards their plight due to which they are compelled to take
to streets. Reports informed KNS that the protesters blocked that main Batamaloo
road due to which the traffic got stranded for more than three hours.
The people called off their protests when the additional
deputy commissioner assured them that the drainage problem shall be rectified
at the earliest. (KNS)
