Promise of pothole-free city remains unfulfilled

Even after years of various projects being proposed for many of the so-called 'pain points' in the city in terms of bad roads, the conditions of many of them remain the same.

It was on October 2, 2021 when the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal directed the PWD officials to make the national capital roads potholefree in the next 10 days and repair broken patches by October 20 to ensure smooth travel for people.

Kejriwal, in a statement, had also shared Public Works Department's survey report which said that as many as 1,357 potholes and 309 patches were identified to be repaired.

Following this, the then deputy chief minister and also the Public Works Department minister Manish Sisodia promised in February 2022 that Delhi will be made potholefree within a month but nothing happened on.
