Last time, the dead body of my father was taken to graveyard through the submerged road which gave us very tough time,” a girl Asma Jan told INS, adding that concerned authorities have turned blind eye towards the matter.
The locals said despite being the nearest place of Pampore town on Srinagar Jammu National Highway, it has been neglected by authorities.

The people demanded that the concerned departments should take notice of their grievances and mitigate their sufferings.
