Road to HPU hostel in bad shape

The main road leading to the girls’ hostel of Himachal Pradesh University, namely Renuka and Gargi hostels, is full of potholes. The road got damaged within a year of being metalled. The potholes and cracked pavements pose a threat to commuters, and vehicles plying on the road are often damaged due to bumpy rides. The HPU authorities have become a mere spectator and no steps have been taken to repair the road. The poor infrastructure explains why the university has slipped in the NIRF ranking released recently. — Atul Kaistha, Summer Hill
