Baramulla: The road linking Delina, Baramulla, to the University of Kashmir’s North Campus has been in a deplorable state for nearly a decade, causing significant inconvenience to students, residents, and commuters. Despite repeated appeals, no substantial repairs have been made since the road was first macadamized during the campus’s establishment.
Locals report that the pothole-riddled road becomes nearly impassable in winter, posing risks for students, the elderly, and patients. “No maintenance has been done since its initial construction,” said a resident, underscoring years of neglect.
Ahead of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s visit to the North Campus on July 13, 2025, authorities hastily filled potholes overnight. However, residents criticized these temporary fixes, noting that the repairs washed away with the next rainfall. “They only acted for the LG’s visit. What about our daily struggles?” a resident remarked, demanding permanent macadamization.
The community continues to urge authorities for a lasting solution to ensure safe and reliable access to the university and surrounding areas.
