Enraged at the ‘priority works’ which Chandigarh councillors listed amounting to Rs 30 lakh that included mostly pavers or tiles, city residents listed ‘top priority’ for councillors—that is potholed roads everywhere in the city. Chandigarh roads have never been like this before, with craters in most of them.
At Raipur Khurd village, internal lanes are full of slush in the potholes. The entire stretch is non-motorable. A resident said that he had registered a complaint with the top brass through email on November 24, 2020, but there has been no response at all.
The residents stated that the roads have not been recarpeted for years here.
