Chandigarh MC draws flak over road recarpeting during rains

Even as there has been much hue and cry over roads not being repaired by the Municipal Corporation for a long time, the decision of the MC to do the needful during the monsoon has raised eyebrows.

Residents are wondering if the roads repaired in the monsoon will last long. At some places, contractors are still undertaking road works. In Sector 30, workers are carrying out recarpeting amid rain, much to the surprise of area residents. “What is the point of recarpeting roads during the monsoon. It serves no purpose as roads will come off soon. It is just a wastage of public money. There should be a strict check by officers,” said Lakhwinder Singh, a resident of Sector 30-A.
