STATE OF ROADS
A stretch of rubble and potholes
Chandigarh
It needs an acrobat to negotiate this V-3 road dividing Ram Darbar and Sector 31, since the road has been reduced to a stretch of cobbled stones and only some patches of the road can be seen here and there. Hundreds of persons use this road every day.
SECTOR SCAN
City centre a bagful of problems
Chandigarh
The commercial hub of the City Beautiful, Sector 17, continues to be plagued by problems. The story of maintenance and development of this prestigious sector is the story of missed opportunities. Ambitious plans to spruce up this sector and develop it into a major tourist attraction have been prepared from time to time but most of the proposals have remained on paper in the absence of adequate follow-up action.
IN FOCUS
Roads that cry for attention
Kharar |
| The condition of roads connecting Kharar with the adjoining villages is such that even pedestrians and cyclists find it difficult to use them in the rainy season. The town’s proximity to Chandigarh has done it no good in this regard. The Punjab Government has
after promised to repair these roads but the promises have not been fulfilled so far.
This V-3 road between Ram Darbar and Sector 31 spoils the beauty of the city. This pothole has been the cause of some serious accidents. |
