The Khadki Cantonment Board (KCB) area saw progress this week as the Garrison Engineer took action to repair a two-kilometre stretch of pothole-ridden road extending from the Army’s petrol depot to Bhosalenagar in Range Hills. This development follows earlier complaints from commuters about the poor road conditions, with the issue gaining attention after a report by the Times of India titled 'Potholed stretch a pain for commuters in Range Hills' on March 10. With the road being a vital thoroughfare for many, especially those seeking to avoid traffic congestion at the university junction, the repairs are welcomed, with officials promising continued maintenance before the monsoon.
In addition to road repairs, efforts have been made to address safety concerns, with dysfunctional street lights along certain sections of the road being repaired. However, some citizens have called for further measures, suggesting the installation of night reflectors for enhanced safety during nighttime travel. Residents stress the importance of maintaining this key connecting route, emphasising its significance for commuters from various parts of the city and urging authorities to remain attentive to ongoing issues in the KCB area.
