Unsafe Travel Conditions on Ujina–Naushera Road Raise Serious Safety Questions
The condition of the road connecting Ujina to Naushera has become a matter of serious concern, as residents continue to face daily hardships due to damaged and poorly maintained stretches.

Sections of the road are reportedly breaking apart, with visible cracks and damaged surfaces making travel difficult for commuters and transport vehicles
Residents have expressed frustration that the road, which was expected to improve connectivity and reduce travel time between villages, is now becoming a safety hazard instead. Daily Commuters Facing Serious Difficulties The Ujina–Naushera road serves as a key route for villagers traveling for work, education, and medical needs. Students, farmers, and daily wage workers rely heavily on this road to reach nearby towns and essential services. However, the current state of the road has resulted in:
Increased risk of road accidents Vehicle damage due to potholes and uneven surfaces Longer travel times and transportation delays Difficulty for emergency vehicles during urgent situations Local residents claim that the poor road condition becomes even more dangerous during rainy seasons, when water fills potholes and makes the road slippery and unsafe. Residents Raise Questions on Construction Quality Villagers have raised serious questions regarding the quality of materials used and the monitoring of construction work.
Many believe that the rapid deterioration suggests possible negligence in road construction standards. Public concerns include: Whether proper inspection was conducted during construction If contractors followed approved engineering guidelines Why repairs have not yet been initiated despite complaints Such issues have led to growing dissatisfaction among local communities who feel neglected despite repeated requests for action. Demand for Immediate Government Action Residents of villages along the Ujina–Naushera route are demanding urgent intervention from the concerned authorities
including the Public Works Department (PWD). They have urged officials to conduct an on-site inspection and begin repair work immediately to prevent further damage. Community members also emphasized that better road infrastructure is essential for rural development, economic growth, and public safety. Public Safety Must Remain a Priority Infrastructure experts often highlight that poor transportation facilities can impact healthcare access and essential services, especially in rural regions where connectivity is already limited. Transportation challenges
remain a significant barrier to accessibility in parts of Nuh district, reinforcing the importance of maintaining safe roads. The deteriorating condition of the Ujina–Naushera road has become a pressing issue that requires immediate attention. With growing public concern and increasing safety risks, authorities are expected to respond quickly to restore the road and ensure safe travel for thousands of residents.
