The officials blamed that due to water stagnation for long hours, roads have been damaged.Meanwhile, a resident of Haibowal Shakti Sharma, said at some locations roads have been damaged so badly that commuters run a risk of damaging their vehicles due to the potholes. He accused the MC of not being able to find a solution to the issues.Reiterating the same, a resident of Civil City, Kamlesh Jain, said instead of the big bridges and major projects, the MC should ensure basic infrastructure for the residents. She added that the city will become smart only when the MC can improve water, sewerage, roads and street lights.While confirming the same, mayor Balkar Sandhu said people have been raising the demand of potholes from many areas.
