While narrating their tales of woes, the residents informed Munish that their area is plagued with potholed roads due to which the commuters face a lot of problems particularly during rainy season since the problem get aggravated as even with small amount of rainfall, most of the roads vanish due to water accumulation in potholes.
"Many accidents and reports of vehicles getting stopped due to the water logged roads surface during monsoon. It is extremely important to be cautious while driving through such water logged roads as it causes water to enter the vehicle through the exhaust pipe. While avoiding the flooded roads is the best solution to the problem, it is, however, is not the answer to every situation. The problem should be fixed at the earliest," said the aggrieved residents.
Residents further said that they brought up the matter before the authorities concerned as well as the political leaders, who represented the constituency from time to time, however, no concerted efforts were made for the restoration of thoroughfares.
