A Road to Ruin

Broken dividers, absence of reflectors lead to alarming rise in accidents on Vishrantwadi to Alandi Road, residents demand immediate attention

- GUNWANTI PARASTE

In the midst of the bustling neighbourhoods of Ganesh Nagar, Kadas, and Mhaske Vasti, the Vishrantwadi to Alandi road serves as a vital lifeline, connecting these areas together. However, this crucial artery has fallen into disarray, resulting in a distressing upsurge in road accidents over the past two years. The dividers, once symbols of order and safety, now stand in a state of disrepair. To exacerbate the situation, the absence of reflectors on these worn-out dividers has added an extra layer of danger, particularly for heavy vehicles.

Akshay Mhaske, a concerned resident, expressed his disappointment, sharing, "For the past two years, we have been grappling with these issues. Despite our efforts to seek assistance from the authorities, we have received no satisfactory response."
