Dera Bassi, March 13
The stretch between the bus stand and tehsil complex here is in a state of neglect.The indifferent attitude of the authorities towards the maintenance of roads has harrowed hundreds of commuters. Residents claim that minor accidents are a routine affair on this road.
They asserted that despite being an industrial hub, roads here were full of potholes, which had made the vehicular movement unsafe. A shopkeeper, who runs a shop on the tehsil road, said several accidents had occurred on these potholed roads. “We have asked the authorities concerned several times, but nothing concrete has been done till now,” he added.
While the stretch between the police station and Government College is in a bad condition, the Mubarikpur road, too, presents the same picture.
Internal roads leading to the city also need re-carpeting. “The authorities never heeded our pleas,” says Sushant Verma, a resident of Dera Bassi. Dera Bassi Executive Officer Bhusan Jain stated that roads in Dera Bassi were in a poor state. He claimed that all roads in the town would be re-carpeted soon.
