LOWER DIR: Residents of Pato and Panjo villages in Talash here on Thursday complained that work on their road could not be completed despite the passage of four years.

Talking to mediapersons, the area elders Mohammad Jabbar, Nizamuddin, Shakirullah and Khair Mohammad said that work on the one kilometre PatoPanjo road was started with a cost of Rs12 million four years ago, but it could not be completed as yet.

They said that the concerned contractor had stopped work on the project for unknown reasons. They said that due to incomplete work the villagers faced difficulties while the motorists were reluctant to drive on the dilapidated road.

The elders said they had brought the matter into the notice of local Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf lawmakers, but to no avail. They demanded of Chief Minister Mahmood Khan to take notice of the matter and order completion of the road project without delay.
