Continuous rain exposes civic work: potholes on all major roads in city

PUNE Continuous rain in the city over the past four days has exposed the Pune Municipal Corporation’s poor road resurfacing work undertaken as part of its pre-monsoon preparations.

The PMC is also in the process of laying pipelines for its 24×7 water scheme, because of which, several roads were dug up before the rains began.

Currently, potholes have developed on all prominent roads in the city.

V J Kulkarni, head of the road department said, “It is true that potholes have developed on the roads, which were mainly dug-up for various works. Once a road gets dug-up, the ‘life’ of that road reduces.”
