Mayor Archana Dehankar finally woke up to problems of huge potholes, rough patches and slushy stretches on city roads. Taking cognizance of recent TOI report that exposed how after only a few monsoon showers, potholes had resurfaced on internal and arterial roads, Dehankar conducted a survey of the roads in her new Honda City car along with NMC officials.
TOI had recently reported on pathetic condition of roads from University Square to Akashwani Square, Pratap Nagar to Somalwar, Khamla Square, Old Bhandara Road-Umred Road to Chhota Tajbagh, Ring Road (Chhatrapati Square to Mhalgi Nagar), Mokshadham to Cotton market, Hudkeshwar Road and the road opposite the Ganeshpeth bus stand.
Disappointed with NMC officials who failed to maintain roads and streetlights properly, Dehankar directed executive engineer R N Hotwani to initiate immediate steps to fill up the potholes on roads belonging to NMC. She also instructed the officials to ensure that citizens were provided all the basic services.
Dehankar told TOI,"I have directed NMC officials and other agencies to at least fill up the potholes temporarily. Due to monsoon, we cannot repair potholes and patches on tar roads. However, that does not stop us from providing temporary relief to the citizen. I have also directed the officials to resolve other issues like cleanliness on roads, upkeep of streetlights etc."
Dehankar also directed that notices be issued to other agencies like NIT, PWD and NHAI for filling up potholes on roads maintained by them. A high level meeting, especially to address the problems of roads in city will be held on July 28 at 3 pm, she said.
The mayor also asked officials to send notices to contractor responsible for the bad road between Bhande Plot to Chhota Tajbagh that was constructed just a few months back and has been washed away. Action will also be initiated against the official who was supposed to have checked the quality and pass the bills, she said.
