Commuters suffer as MC fails to repair potholes

The commuters are a harried lot whenever the potholes are not being repaired timely in the city. As a number of mishaps have taken place on potholed roads, residents ask the civic body to strengthen the roads maintenance wing and ensure the safety of the commuters.

After the winter season, the MC has resumed the work of filling potholes, but it is going at a slow pace. The potholes on a number of roads and internal streets in different zones are yet to be repaired.

The civic body spends crores of rupees on maintenance of roads every year but there are several areas wherein the roads have not been repaired for a long time. The potholes near the Shastri Nagar railway crossing, Bhadaur House and other areas have been crying for attention for months. Similarly, commuters face inconvenience due to potholes on Ishmeet Singh Road, Focal Point and other areas.
