A prime example of the authority’s shoddy work, the internal road stretch at Aarey Milk Colony between Aarey market and Royal Palms has developed potholes in less than two months since its completion. Locals claim that the emergence of potholes highlights the use of substandard materials in road construction.

Rahul Mishra, who uses this road frequently, said, “In May, when the stretch of road going from Aarey market towards Royal Palms was being done, I had clicked pictures of the road because I knew that the road would start developing potholes and uneven surfaces. Within less than two weeks of the rain, the potholes started occurring on the road which hints towards the fact that substandard quality material was used to repair the road. The concerned officials and the contractor responsible for the shoddy work should be held responsible for this.”
