“There is movement of school going children in the vicinity, every time children walk on this stretch we become cautious of their presence and make sure they cross the stretch safely,” Parvez said.

Residents say the road is an important link road between Nishat and Rainawari and is dotted with potholes which hamper the smooth vehicular movement.

Corporator Asif Ahmad Beigh put the blame on previous administration saying that the locality is a victim of official apathy.

He further said the allotment on the work has been done but due to bad weather the work could not be executed.

“This year we will make sure that macadamization of this road is done,” he said.
