Dwarka roads are once again ridden with potholes and cracks — major junctions, turns and stretches are a nightmare to negotiate.
When one enters Dwarka through Palam Flyover, it’s easy to see damaged portions of Road No. 201, one of the busiest thoroughfares of the city. Residents say the damaged portions were only temporarily repaired, and have returned to their dilapidated state soon after.
Jitender Singh, a resident of Sector 3, said, “They merely fill the potholes with debris, or put concrete cement to provide temporary relief — that will not really help in the long run.”
Some damaged roads have been in that condition for more than four years. Every rainy season, temporary filling-up happens and the problem returns within a few months.
SK Mitra, a resident of Sector 4, said, “There's need for re-carpeting and not just filling up. The stretch from the signal towards Ashirwad Chowk is dangerous, as the surface is completely broken.”
JC Malhotra, a resident of Welcome Group CGHS in Sector 3, said, “The loose debris used as filling material just adds to dust pollution.”
When City Spidey got in touch with DDA chief Engineer, RK Singh, he said he will soon have a meeting with his officials on the issue.
