People staged protest in Uri area of Baramulla district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir against the authorities’ indifference towards their problems.
According to Kashmir Media Service, residents of Gharkote in Uri area held a protest against the dilapidated road condition from Thala to Upper Garkote. The aggrieved residents while express anger on the apathy shown by the occupation authorities said the road stretch is in ruins since 2005.
Liyaqat Ali Balote, a local resident, said, “Already, a road mishap here caused death to a passenger three days back. Had the road condition been improved, the mishap could have been avoided”.
