I’m not really sure whether this Road comes under the jurisdiction
of the KMC (Kolkata Municipal Corporation) or the PWD (Public Works
Department), but I'm sure it is the responsibility and a reflection of the
shoddy work being commissioned by the incumbent State Government.
This rant is not to blame anyone, but to do my duty as a
citizen and bring to the notice of the concerned departments that taxpayers
money is just being washed away by such negligent work.
I'm sure all the residents of Calcutta Greens, Udita, Udayan
and the surrounding areas including shop owners and visitors alike must have
been pleased to see that this 350 metre stretch of road from Ajoy Nagar upto
Calcutta Greens had been repaired a little over two weeks ago. In fact the
relaying had been all the way up to Hiland Park.
My point being that prior to
this repair work, for nearly 5 years the stretch had become a dirt track and
developed potholes large enough to swallow a small car. So we were definitely
pleased to see such prompt repair work being swung into action immediately after
the Local Municipal Elections. Our Councillor must have put in some strong
words.
Well not strong enough it seems, because the road lasted all
of one week. That must be a record of sorts. I'm no engineer or road architect,
but I'm sure that roads are meant to last significantly longer than the
glorious one week of smooth sailing that we experienced.
So this is my little contribution to bring this to the
notice of all concerned and hope that this one little voice can make a difference.
This is how our cars are looking at this dreadful road and telling the tires and suspension to brace themselves for a nice bumpy ride.
Didi, I hope you’re listening, if not for our sake, at least for our poor cars.
