Anchor:-Panic gripped Hajin in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district after another stretch of road collapsed late last night, raising concerns among local residents about safety and infrastructure stability. Locals expressed anger over what they described as administrative negligence, stating that timely preventive measures could have averted the situation. According to residents, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for strengthening the embankments had already been approved, but work was not initiated in time. “If the administration had acted earlier, we would not be facing this crisis today. The delay and negligence have put lives and property at risk,” locals said. Meanwhile, officials have urged people not to panic, assuring that restoration and strengthening work on the damaged road is already underway. Authorities said necessary steps are being taken to stabilize the affected stretch and ensure smooth and safe movement at the earliest.
