The apathetic attitude of the MC authorities towards the maintenance of roads has put thousands of commuters to inconvenience.
Those commuting on the Pabhat road are a harried lot, as the road is full of potholes.
Residents claim that they have asked the MC officials to re-carpet the road, but nothing needful has been done so far. They alleged that councillors-cum-property dealers unheeded their pleas and re-carpeted the road in front of their offices.
Residents rued that the road was in need of immediate repairs, but the authorities concerned seemed least concerned.
A survey of the area revealed that the road is narrow and full of potholes.
It is a busy stretch, as it connects the area to Mohali Phase XI and other villages.
“Water-logging during rainy season poses a threat to several lives,” said Narinder Singh, a resident of Pabhat village.
One of the shopkeepers said, “Water-logging affects our work badly. We have taken up the matter with the MC officials a number of times, but to no avail.”
Narinder Kumar Sharma, president, municipal council, Zirakpur, said the road would be repaired soon. Tenders have been floated for the same, he added.
