The ongoing flyover construction at Delina on the Baramulla-Srinagar National Highway has left thousands of commuters facing daily hardships. Launched in early 2024, the project remains neglected, with authorities failing to ensure smooth traffic movement.
The 2-km stretch is riddle with deep potholes, waterlogging, and uneven surfaces, causing vehicle damage and significantly increasing travel time.Students, office workers, and patients traveling to Srinagar endure long delays and unsafe conditions, with accidents and breakdowns becoming routine. Despite repeated complaints, neither the district administration nor the Current government has taken concrete steps. Transporters face counting repair costs, yet their concerns remain ignored. The public demands immediate action to expedite construction, conduct temporary road repairs, and hold responsible authorities accountable. If the situation persists, locals and transporters may be forced to stage protests against this continued negligence.
And now, our beloved friend Talib-ul-Islam Lone, a resident of Kanispora, Baramulla, has paid the ultimate price for this negligence. He suffered a stroke on March 11, 2025, and was initially shifted to GMC Baramulla, but the deteriorated condition of the Delina highway delayed his transfer to Srinagar for advanced treatment. By the time he reached SKIMS, it was too late. Who will compensate us for this irreparable loss? Aaaahhhh! But we are in agony over the silence of the administration, especially the Baramulla administration, regarding this deteriorated highway condition since 2024.
