Travelling on several main and link roads in the residential areas of the city has become an ordeal for commuters due to the deplorable condition they are in. The roads are riddled with potholes, and the loose gravel scattered on the broken portions pose a threat to the commuters.
City resident Sanjeev Kumar said: “Many roads — such as the one leading from Umri road to Powergrid Colony, on Shri Krishna Ayurvedic University chowk, a patch near Circuit House, Palwal road, and main roads of Sector 8 — are in a poor condition. There are gaping potholes on the roads and it becomes very difficult for two-wheeler riders to drive on them. Not only do commuters suffer injuries, their vehicles also get damaged. There is a need to widen and reconstruct the roads.”
