Residents of Parasram Nagar are a harried lot as repair work on around one kilometre stretch of road has not been done for the past three years. This has been of huge inconvenience to the commuters and pedestrians who have to negotiate their way through the potholed broken road.

Residents of the area said while things are manageable when the weather is dry, when it rains, the road gets inundated with water for days, making the movement of commuters and pedestrians really difficult.

Gurmeet Singh, a local resident, said, “The repair work on the road was to begin during the rule of the previous SAD government, but after laying a layer of concrete, the work was stopped after a change of government in the state in 2017. Since then, we have informed the Municipal Corporation on a number of occasions, but nothing concrete has been done till now.”

A group of shopkeepers regretted that walking or driving on the roads during the rainy season becomes really difficult due to the presence of excessive mud and when water accumulates on the surface, commuters often get stuck in the middle. There is approximately one kilometre stretch of road that has not been repaired for nearly three years and despite numerous requests made to the authorities concerned, the latter have turned a blind eye to the problem for reasons best known to them.

Harwinder Kumar Sharma, councillor, ward number 46, said, “The repair of the road was to be done during the previous SAD government, but after a change of guard at the helm, the work got stalled later. We laid a layer of crushed stone on the road last year and after a required gap of some more months, a layer of bitumen would also be laid.”
