MDC internal roads in tatters

Panchkula, October 21

The condition of roads in the Mansa Devi Complex (MDC) area, particularly internal ones, is pathetic.

The potholed road around the exit of Singh Dwar gives motorists a bumpy ride. Even though the Haryana Shahri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) had claimed to recarpet 20 km of roads in five sectors of the MDC earlier this year at a cost of Rs2.66 crore, the roads seemingly failed to stand the vagaries of weather.

As a result, the repair work ended with bad roads.

Harsh Agarwal, president, Residents’ Welfare Association, MDC, Sector 4, said, “I think certainly there has been a lot of improvement in the condition of main roads after the recarpeting work but many internal roads are still in bad shape.”

Vijay Gupta of the MDC, Sector 5, RWA said the entry and exit points to several societies in their area have a number of deep potholes. He added that internal roads had not been repaired for the past more than a year.

Haryana Assembly Speaker and local MLA Gian Chand Gupta had asked the engineering wing of the HSVP to keep a strict vigil on the contractor to ensure a high-quality road repair work.
