Kachkoot-Tral road widened after public demand
Road expected to enhance access to tourist spot Shikargah, industrial estate Hari Parigam
Pulwama: The government has recently widened the vital Kachkoot-Tral road in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district which is expected to provide significant benefits for the local area.
The residents of the area said that they are thankful to the government for widening the vital Kachkoot-Tral road.
They said the road has not only provided proper connectivity to the villages but has made journeys easy and safe as this is one of the main roads to connect Tral with the rest of south especially, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian districts.
Abbas Ahmad, a resident of Rathsuna Tral area said that people from south Kashmir visiting the famous tourist spot Shikargah do not need to visit Tral town as it got a better connectivity via Kachkoot.
He said that people will now heave a sigh of relief as there won’t be traffic jams on this route now as the road was very narrow earlier.
The locals said that the government must keep proper vigil on the road and special attention must be given towards maintenance of the road.
An official of the district administration said that this improved route will enhance access to the popular tourist spot Shikargah and the industrial estate at Hari Parigam.
He said that the development is part of ongoing efforts to boost tourism and industrial activities in the region, making these destinations more accessible and potentially driving economic growth.
The official added that this initiative reflects a broader strategy to improve infrastructure and connectivity in the area, aiming to support local industries and attract more visitors to Jammu and Kashmir.
