Official apathy
turning roads into death traps
Sonepat, December 18
Most of the roads in this fast growing industrial city have become
death traps for auto-drivers and pedestrians. Most of these roads
belonging to the Sonepat Municipal Council, the PWD (B and R), the
Market Committee and the Haryana Urban Development Authority have cracked and were punctuated with potholes. The auto-drivers find
themselves desperately trying to avoid the potholes and patchworks on
these roads.
