35km of roads repaired in PMC limits over 3 days, say officials
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has recently initiated a special project called the 'joint road maintenance van drive,' which claims to have successfully repaired approximately 35 kilometers of city roads within the last three days. The PMC's primary focus during this project is to repair 15 key roads using dedicated road maintenance vans (RMV), with a detailed area-wise timetable for efficient execution. However, civic activists have expressed concerns regarding the effectiveness of road repairs, citing a lack of coordination between various PMC departments. They emphasize that civic departments often dig up recently repaired roads shortly after, resulting in both a waste of public funds and commuter inconvenience. To address these issues, they call for a well-structured timetable that balances road digging and restoration activities.
Despite PMC's claim of filling over 7,000 potholes since the start of the monsoon season in June, concerns have arisen regarding the quality and durability of these road works. The heavy rains in late September exposed the re-emergence of potholes, casting doubt on the quality of previous repairs. In response to citizen complaints, a road restoration drive was recently launched. Residents are expressing frustration over the frequent road digging and resurfacing activities, which not only make commuting risky but also worsen traffic congestion. They call for a permanent solution to address the ongoing road maintenance challenges faced by the city.
