GUWAHATI: Although the state government has been announcing one project after another in the city, the conditions of some roads in the city remain neglected, thus causing concerns for the citizens who use these roads for their daily commute. The road connecting Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) to Dispur College has been under repair for several months now. What started as a project to reconstruct the drains in the locality has now led to damage to the road itself. Multiple large potholes often cause problems for motorists, both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. But that is not all; the sewage and dirty water from the half-done drains often overflow into the road, making it nearly impossible for pedestrians to cross that section of the road. Even after this question is raised several times by the local people, the authorities continue to neglect it.
Another question raised by the citizens is regarding the longevity of the roads in the region, as the newly created roads seem to see damage in no time. And even if they are repaired, they hardly seem to stay in proper condition, even for a few months. The daily commuters on the B.K. Kakati Road and A.K. Azad Road seem to have faced this problem on quite a regular basis, as these roads see frequent damages, even after repairs.
