Commuting in torrential rainfall on flooded roads can be brutal. However, the pothole-riddled roads are adding to commuters’ woes as they are being subjected to a rather bumpy ride.
The state of the roads remains deplorable, despite municipal corporation officials’ extravagant claims and promises. Recently, in response to an RTI (Right To Information Act) petition, the civic body had claimed that ₹212 crore had been spent on repairing roads between 2015 to 2020.
However, as matters stand at present, deep craters pockmark the roads on Gill Road, Ferozepur Road, Jagraon Bridge, BRS Nagar, Model Town-Jawaddi Road, Haibowal, and Model Town Extension among other areas.
