J&K: BRO repairs Rajouri's potholed roads, ends years of hardship for residents

Border Roads Organisation repairs dilapidated roads in Rajouri's Kalakote, ending years of commuter difficulties and accident risks for J&K residents.

"The repair of this road was essential. People were facing difficulties for years. The BRO is doing a good job. - Local Resident"

Jammu, Jan 6

The residents of Kalakote region in Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir are heaving a sigh of relief as their long-standing problem stands resolved now. The potholed and dilapidated roads have been repaired while a large stretch of damaged road is under maintenance, bringing relief to the residents of the border district.

The credit for resolving the perennial issue of damaged roads goes to the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), whose personnel are blacktopping the roads and streets in the Balli area Kalakote subdivision. This has also strengthened the rural infrastructure, bringing joy to the local people.

For years, the road was in bad shape, riddled with potholes and also posing a threat to commuters. Road accidents and daily inconveniences were common due to the poor condition of the roads, which had not been repaired for a long time.

The BRO undertook the blacktopping work of the road and soon this will facilitate seamless connectivity, providing better connectivity to remote areas.

Local residents have appreciated the initiative, thanking the Border Roads Organisation as well as the Centre, for prioritising development and security in the remote areas of Rajouri district. They said that about 3 kilometers of the road is under construction, where BRO personnel are working, and the entire road will be completed soon.

A local resident, speaking to IANS, said "The repair of this road was essential. People were facing difficulties for years. The BRO is doing a good job. This will improve the roads and also unlock employment opportunities for the local people."

Another resident said that the road had many potholes, which frequently led to accidents and added that the BRO is doing excellent work with the support of the central government.

As someone who has family in Jammu, I know how bad those roads were. My uncle's car suspension was ruined last year. Thank you BRO for this vital work. Hope this also brings more tourism and local jobs to the region.

Good step, but why did it take "years of hardship" for this basic infrastructure repair? While we appreciate BRO's work, the local administration should have acted sooner. Accountability is important alongside development.

Reading this from abroad. It's heartening to see infrastructure development in border districts. Strong roads are not just about convenience; they're about security and integration. Kudos to the workers braving the conditions.

BRO is our unsung hero. While we sleep comfortably, these personnel are working in difficult border areas to connect our nation. This repair will save lives by preventing accidents. Salute to their dedication! 🙏

This is excellent news for the local economy. Smooth roads mean farmers can get produce to market faster, students can reach colleges safely, and ambulances won't get stuck. Hope the quality of construction is maintained for the long term.
