Indore: In a country where most places lack proper roads… sample this… . A new road is being made on a perfectly well-maintained cemented road.
What’s more? It’s unnecessarily being made of asphalt, which means expect lesser life, potholes and imbalance due to run off asphalt during monsoon season. And guess where this has been happening? Not any small town or village but in our own smart and cleanest Indore. Is this smart planning?
Having seen the change in front of his eyes, a resident of Manormaganj RD Mathur said, “It is frustrating for me to see a perfectly good cemented road with a life of 10 years, being ruined by unnecessary layer of asphalt, which is probably just being added because of some previous projects or schemes to make money.”
He had not only witnessed the layer being added, but also questioned the actions based on his expertise in civil engineering.
