"We have submitted a number of memorandum to concerned MLA, Executive Engineer PWD, R&B Reasi but all in vain", said a resident of village Sadeen, adding that they are left with no option but to take to roads.
"In case of any untoward incidents, the residents feel discriminated, when they do not find any option to reach main road," he said, non connectivity of road also affect development of the area.
"We even have also requested to MLA to sanction roads for these areas under PMGSY, but our plights remains un-listened," he added.
