IN the absence of proper repair and maintenance, the Rajgarh-Khari section of the Rajgarh-Nahan road has become a cause for concern for motorists who have to trudge through the potholed road. The PWD has failed to repair the road as a result of which at least a 20-km stretch is riddled with potholes. The callous attitude of the state government to repair rural roads, which are the lifeline of the rural economy in Himachal, exposes its lack of priority for the rural population. Almost 90% of people reside in rural areas and attention should be accorded to roads in the area.
