It was not only normal vehicles which got stranded due to heavy rainfall, but several ambulances carrying patients also got trapped in heavy jams as a result of which the people were seen walking on foot to cover the distance so that they could reach on time at the destination.
The people while talking to “Early Times” said that the worst 50 KM stretch is from Udhampur to Chenani where the up-gradation work is going on at snail’s pace adding that the traffic jams had become the hallmark everyday as a result of which the people traveling on these roads become difficult and uphill task.
The people said that the up-gradation work along with continuous landslides on highway is the major cause of concern adding that the authorities at the helm of affairs fail to address the issue.
The people called on the authorities to expedite the road construction process so that people traveling on Jammu-Kishtwar National Highway do not suffer anymore.
