22 yrs on, residents wait for a metalled road

The approach road to Malawali village on the Airport road has not been metalled for over past two decades, resulting in trouble for residents. The area, which now falls under ward number 5 of the Municipal Corporation, was inducted in the city in 1998.

Residents had been demanding a functional road for the past many years, and used every tactic, including shaming political leaders on the social media. Last year, they had pooled money to lay the premix after which the local administration had put on a thin coal tar layer on a limited portion of the road.
