The roads of the national capital are known for being wide, but a safe walk on these roads, be it arterial or ones inside residential colonies, is still a distant dream for pedestrians. With the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections ahead, The Indian Express took a walk through some of the upscale colonies of the city to find that most roads under the MCD colonies do not have proper pavements or a safe footpath.
At six colonies in South Delhi — Greater Kailash-II, East of Kailash, RK Puram, Green Park Extension, Kalkaji, Chittaranjan Park— most roads were dilapidated, unpaved and riddled with potholes. The ability to walk safely through these roads was the biggest grievance, especially for senior citizens and children.
