Potholes come undone due to hasty, shoddy repair; citizens complain

PUNE Given the heavy rain and with work on the water drainage system incomplete in some places and shoddily carried out in others, many a pothole has sprung up across the city with hastily covered ones opening up again.

Several such hurriedly concealed holes have come undone in most of the peth areas, creating craters with a thick pile of sticky mud acting as road bumps which mislead riders bang into the water-logged cavities. Taking a round of the city, especially the parts where the roads department has carried out shoddy work, we came across many traffic snarls as riders and drivers tried to navigate these potholes and bumps.
