Potholes filled city

Mumbai metro city can otherwise be called potholed city as we find very difficult to navigate through roads full of craters and potholes and we witness many road accidents during the monsoon season. Water stagnation in the busy roads confuse the road users as they jump into big holes filled with rain water and pay heavy price for the same. Despite trumpeting about the rain readiness, BMC failed to address the problem in a proper way and the erring contractors are getting second and third chances inspite of doing poor work. The complaints about potholes and craters are going unheard and in some pockets the traffic constables are shouldering the additional responsibility to fill the potholes with their efforts. It is very dangerous to travel by two wheeler through knee deep water with roads filled with potholes. The rider may land in no man’s land and the chances of tripping over is more if the vehicle runs over a crater. In all it is risky driving in the roads of Mumbai and BMC should make sure that the pothole filling work is done in a planned way to avoid recurrence of mishaps on the busy nodes of the city.
