Broken Zirakpur roads trouble commuters

Tribune News Service

Zirakpur, October 15

Roads continue to trouble residents and other commuters in the town.

While societies and houses mushroomed over the years, the condition of roads here did not improve much. The condition of inner roads is poor.

During a random check, it was found that one of the oldest stretches, VIP Road, is in a dismal state. Other than its name, there is nothing ‘VIP’ about the road. Kalgidhar-Baltana, Dhakoli, Pabhat and other internal roads offer a bumpy ride to commuters.

“Big potholes can be spotted at various places. Broken roads damage our vehicles, besides causing accidents. During rain, the situation deteriorates as commuters, especially two-wheeler riders, fail to notice how deep a water-filled pothole is. So, road mishaps are common here. Most small accidents go unreported,” said Navdeep Kumar, a local resident.
