However, a serious concern exists in Iqbal Nagar, Mugij. The internal roads in this area have not been repaired for the past 4–5 years or even longer, and their condition has deteriorated badly. The roads are so damaged that walking properly has become difficult, especially for children, elderly residents, and patients. During monsoons, the situation worsens further, causing inconvenience, safety risks, and daily hardship for the residents.

This long-pending issue highlights the urgent need for immediate road repair and maintenance in Iqbal Nagar, so that residents can enjoy the same level of accessibility, safety, and dignity that proper infrastructure provides.
