Savitri flyover plagued by potholes nearly two months after revamp

Just seven weeks after repair and re-carpeting work was carried out on the Savitri flyover in south Delhi, the 1.5km stretch is yet again battered with potholes and cracked bitumen, creating daily chaos for thousands of commuters.

Monsoon rains, meanwhile, have further worsened conditions, slowing traffic to a crawl during peak hours and leaving motorists to swerve dangerously to avoid gaping craters.

The flyover, an arterial connector on the Outer Ring Road, links neighbourhoods like Greater Kailash I and II, CR Park, Alaknanda, Chirag Dilli, Kalkaji and Tughlakabad, and is used daily by private vehicles, buses, and commercial traffic. Despite the Public Works Department (PWD) completing carpeting work between late June and mid-July, commuters now say the stretch is no safer than before.
