Key Questions Answered
Local residents struggle daily with dust, dirt, and potholes because roads dug up for sewerage pipelines two years ago have not been properly repaired or reconstructed.
The paved roads in these areas were constructed in 2022 at a cost of around Rs 1.5 crore, and they were still under the guarantee period when damaged by sewerage work.
Residents object that construction materials do not meet prescribed standards and allege that Kota stone slabs are being used instead of gravel, raising concerns about the durability of the roads.
