The National Highway connecting the two districts of north Kashmir – Kupwara and Baramulla (Sopore) – NH-701 has developed many potholes. Travel of half an hour takes more than 2 hours as the highway is in shambles, particularly in the Kulangam-Seelu stretch.
Moreover, the highway has got some unnecessary speed breakers while some portion of the road has been dug up, causing inconveniences to surgically-operated patients.
We request the concerned authorities and agencies to kindly repair the road and macadamise it on a humanitarian basis so that the people at large do not suffer anymore.
