Example from Daleipada Road
For instance, road repairs were recently done at Daleipada. Yet today, local people noticed that in some parts of the road, the bitumen has already started to come off. They say even light foot pressure is enough to lift the tar surface.
Public Demands Immediate Action
Residents allege that the roads are being built in a hasty and substandard manner. As a result, they are urging the administration to take strict action and ensure proper quality control in the construction process.
