In a sustained campaign, MiD DAY dwells upon the state of the city's roads that afflict commuters day after day. We talk to stakeholders, authorities and experts to tell you what they think, plan, and recommend so that your daily commute is no longer a nightmare

The city that never sleeps has roads that never heal. Here, driving is a ride on a pogo stick, walking is a hopscotch, and navigating, a nightmare. And you do not have to be reminded what monsoon does to your commuting experience. Even after pumping nearly Rs 1,000 crore to overhaul the roads, every monsoon, the cracks show up, widen and become potholes. The BMC does carry out the extensive exercise of filling up the dot holes threatening to become potholes. But somehow, we find ourselves in the same rocky place -- in the gaps bridging the roads.

Last year, MiD DAY had carried out a campaign during monsoon, where readers were asked to spot the worst road. On the basis of their feedback, the two worst roads were Thakur Village Road in Kandivli and Andheri-Kurla Road. As you will find out, they retain their infamous title even today.
