Bokaro, July 3 — The condition of the key road connecting industrial city Bokaro to Dhanbad via Sector 11 at Bhatua has deteriorated severely, causing daily inconvenience to thousands of commuters. Despite being a major route for both passenger and commercial traffic, the road remains riddled with potholes and waterlogging, especially during the monsoon. Large craters filled with rainwater make driving extremely difficult and hazardous. The situation worsens during peak hours, with heavy congestion and the constant risk of accidents. Two-wheelers, cars, and small goods carriers can be seen struggling to navigate the stretch, which is now more of a mud track than a road. The situation turns even more dangerous after dark, as poor street lighting and unmarked potholes increase the risk of mishaps. Drivers, especially two-wheeler riders, find it difficult to gauge the depth of water-filled potholes, making night-time travel on this stretch highly risky. Local residents and frequent commuters have raised concerns multiple times, but no permanent solution has been implemented so far. This route is vital not just for daily commuters but also for the movement of goods and raw materials related to local industries, making its poor state a serious concern for the regions economy and safety. Civic authorities and the district administration are being urged to take immediate action to repair the road and ensure proper drainage and lighting. The current condition not only endangers lives but also damages the image of Bokaro as one of the countrys key industrial hubs.
