All is not well with Chandigarh’s roads, says new adviser

All is not well with the road network of City Beautiful and it needs major improvements, said UT adviser Dharam Pal after making a round of the city.

While city residents have been complaining about the bumpy ride in many parts of the city and demanding improved road conditions for years now, the new UT adviser reached the same conclusion within a week of joining the administration on June 23.

Stating that improvement in the city roads will be one of his focus areas, Pal said, “The road carpeting and maintenance work will be taken up on priority after monsoon. It is one of the things directly connected with people and also linked with the city’s image.”
