Inaugurated 10 months ago, Karnal-Indri road erodes

The Karnal-Indri State Highway, which was inaugurated 10 months ago, has started to erode, leaving loose gravel along the stretch. Commuters claimed that the Rs 36-crore project was “poorly executed” as the road surface was uneven at several places, posing a threat of mishaps.

A resident of Indri, Sardar Jaswinder Singh, said, “The construction quality is so substandard that the surface started wearing away after the first monsoon, following its inauguration. The authorities concerned were lackadaisical while carrying out inspections.”
