Potholes dot several roads in Salt Lake, including the arterial First Avenue and Second Avenue, posing risks to pedestrians and motorists alike.
Repairs are yet to begin even as the craters grow bigger and deeper with every shower.
Sunil Chakraborty, a resident of Baisakhi, said the blacktop on the road in front of his house was dug up several months ago to lay water pipelines but the civic body was yet to relay asphalt.
“Salt Lake is now unrecognisable. It resembles a Martian landscape. Both First Avenue and the canal-side road near Baisakhi are uneven and cratered. Driving along the stretches is nightmarish,” Ghosh said.
