The road which isn’t
Chandigarh
Poorly laid down tarmac, dotted with potholes of the size of craters, cracks and depressions, this is how one can describe the V-3 road dividing sectors 44 and 45 in the City Beautiful. The condition of the said road deteriorates further between sectors 44-C and 45-D, so much so, that a stretch of the road has almost vanished at the T-junction before it meets the outer Dakshin marg. Driving on these roads has become a driver’s nightmare, especially during the night, when the drivers fail to notice the depressions, which has resulted in several accidents.
