Darren Roland Rosario ; Mumbai ; The condition of mumbai roads is becoming bad to worse. There is more potholes than roads.The worst part is that the people dont voice out their opinion towards this situation.The major fact is that nobody neither politicians neither cidco nor NMMC wants to take the iniiative to do this work.The only time you see the roads been done up is only during election.
The funniest part is that the work is done of those roads which actually does not need any work,its all fine.You will hear a lot of people saying these days “sirji aaj kal road main khade nahi khade main road hain”,and to be very honest this is the actual case.The roads that are okay and dont need any work are destructed and remade just to show the people that we are working but thats not the fact these people never work.The roads which actually needs attention is never taken care of its always left aside.Another interesting fact is that the roads which are broken down are ntreplaced with fresh or new material the same things are crushed and used to remake the road.
This has been seen by many individuals.People need to understand what we pay for and what are the rights that we as citizens have. We pay road tax but thats the thing which is never maintained the only things thats maintained is the ministers pocket.This is the thing that remains well maintained and filled with fresh notes unlike the roads.Peple need to bring all this to the notice of the government otherwise india as usual will always be called a developing country rather than a developed country.Ministers pockets will be maintained and not the roads.The toll naka money is still taken and they say its taken for the maintainence and to cover up the cost of construction but the fact is that the cost of production has been retained ages ago and the money is again used for something else.If they say that we are taking money for the maintainence of the bridge they should atleast maintain it by taking care of the potholes painting the dividers and makin proper markers.If they are taking the toll money then does that mean we stop paying road tax since they are anyway taking toll.Due to these bad roads not only the vehicles face issues but also creates stagnent water and also cause diseases.These potholes are again a reason why we have alot of accidents today . These accidents are again caused because no proper road managment because most of the time the signals dont function and neither do people follow the speed limit and neither there are any traffic police who can monitor the over speeding of vehicles regularly.All these factors if taken into consideration by the government and the authorities it will be a great help for the number of accidents to reduce and to make traffic control more easy
