Although hot-mixing of roads has been started in Ponda, the pace of work is found to be quite slow. Locations which need prompt attention seem to remain unattended. Due to defective condition of roads, vehicular traffic face great inconvenience and trouble with two-wheeler riders being the worst sufferers.
At some spots, massive potholes exist which could prove dangerous especially during the night. Precious human lives are bound to receive serious injuries in the process. Gravel dumped over these potholes could prove equally disastrous.
Seen in the picture is a defective road adjacent to the Bank of Maharashtra at Sadar in Ponda. Let us hope that repair work of roads is speeded up so that travellers are assured safety while proceeding along the concerned routes.
