Similarly, residents of Shahbad village are also up in arms against concerned authorities for failing to clear snow there.
Aadil Bashir, a local told INS that, they are confined in their houses as “snow is accumulated on main Shahabad road, which is yet to be cleared even on third day today”
The residents of both these areas have requested authorities to immediately clear snow on their roads.
Meanwhile, residents of Nahir and Panner Jageer areas have alleged that their roads were not cleared properly, due to which “vehicles are not running comfortably on them”
They requested authorities to look into the matter as early as possible.

He further said that, they will also try their best to clear snow in Karmulla side soon.
When asked about allegations of people related to “improper clearnace” in Panner and other areas, Shah said that, “to secure roads, they have not allowed dozers to clear it from in depth as roads could be damaged”
