Locals of Neherpora area of Sopore in North Kashmir alleged that drainage constructed month before has collapsed due to usage of substandard material.
Locals while speaking to news agency – Kashmir News Service (KNS) said, that the drain collapse bears reflects to the bad quality of work and material used by the contractors and approved by the concerned enginer.
They also said, that the officials concerned never bothered to visit the site to assess the construction despite their repeated requests.
“We were surprised when we saw that the drain has collapsed. It is because of sub-standard material used in the construction”, said Javeed Ahmed, Auqaf president.
