Jalandhar: Potholed Maqsudan-DAV College road poses big risk for commuters

It’s been over three months that the Maqsudan Chowk — DAV College road has been lying in tatters, yet the civic authorities seem to be looking the other way. It has become difficult for the commuters to travel on the stretch riddled with huge potholes.

Area residents say the Municipal Corporation (MC) has failed to take action despite several complaints. “Within days of the first shower of the monsoon, the poor quality concrete used to fill potholes on the road has come off and the condition has gone from bad to worse. Water-logging after rains only adds to the woes. Most of the times, we commute on the road with the fear of losing our balance,” said Arwind Kumar, a student, who often uses the stretch to visit his college.
