Bhaskar found 15 x 5 feet potholes measured with measure tape: VMC found 1500 potholes, people said, 'There is a pothole in the road or the road in the pit is not understood'

Along with the monsoon, there will be two crises for the residents of Vadodara. One is the fear of floods in Vishwamitri and the other is the problem of bismar roads. This year, Vishwamitri has not faced floods so far, but the city's roads have become slippery, increasing the number of motorists. When Bhaskar Reporter did a reality check with measure tape to find out the condition of the roads of Vadodara city, 15x5 feet of potholes were found in Gajrawadi area. The corporation has also found 1500 potholes in the city. As potholes fall everywhere in the city, people are taking a dig at the VMC, saying that it is not known whether there are potholes on the road in the city or the road in the pit. Potholes of 15X5 were found on the road in Gajrawadi area As soon as Bhaskar Reporter reached the area, people were seen passing by with their vehicles in a very difficult condition. Motorists are fine, but it has become difficult for pedestrians to walk. Seeing this, we felt that we should try to know the length, width and depth of the pit. When we opened the measure tape and started measuring the potholes one after the other, it was found that pits ranging in length from 1 foot to 15 feet, width up to five feet and one to one and a half feet deep were seen on the road. Not only in this area, but people of other areas are also upset. Potholes that break the cad on the road: Mitesh Patel Miteshbhai Patel, who was passing through this road, said that there are so many potholes that the waist is broken, everything is broken. Two young children were lying here last night. There are so many potholes here, my son has not been doing any work for the last six months. MlAs or corporators don't know anything, they need to go to their homes and dig trenches. Then they will know what kind of pits are there here. When women pass through here, the waist breaks. 'My life is in danger here' "This is gajrawadi area, there is a very useless road here. It's my daily commute through this road. Everyone, from pregnant women, passes through here, due to which everyone has to suffer. Two or three times I have survived the fall and two-three other people have also survived yesterday. We complained to the corporation about this, but nothing happens. My life is in danger here. 'This is not a smart city, it is a pit city' Another passerby Wilsonbhai said the road from Panigate to Gajrawadi area is in a very bad situation. There is a daily commute here. The suspension of vehicles has worsened. The car has to be sent to the garage four times a month. Suspension, the condition of the tire is bad. The potholes here are more and the roads less visible, except for potholes. This is not the first time such a situation has arisen in Baroda, it is always the same situation, this is not a smart city, it is a pothole city. The people of Vadodara are saying that this is not Vadodara, it is Khadodara- Chandrakant Srivastava Talking to Chandrakant Srivastava (Bhattubhai), leader of the opposition in the corporation, said that if there is a pit, then you understand, but here there is a ghost, in which the whole person gets involved. There are 150 to 200 such ghosts in Vadodara city. Don't talk about the road, it is not known whether there is a pothole in the road or the road in the pit. There are potholes all around the entire Vadodara city. In the ongoing rain, they repair it, which is not possible any day. That is why the citizens of Vadodara city have started saying that this is not Vadodara, it is Khadodara. Digging on all the main roads somewhere. He further said, then we have to understand. There is no way to walk where people go to perform the last rites in the Ramnath crematorium area in Gajrawadi area, where people go with emotions. This is the situation all around Vadodara city. From Gajrawadi to Panigate in the city, go from Panigate to Mandvi, leave Pratapnagar Main Road, go to Laheripura station, all the main roads there will be either digging going on, either there will be a pit, or coke must have fallen there, now if a man dies, he says that he was drunk. Someone is drinking in the morning. All these things touch people. When the son, husband or parents of someone's family dies, his family is hurt, there is no sorrow on your family, because the roads of the officers are good, check the roads of the commissioner and the officers will be good there. VMC survey found 1500 potholes Additional city engineer Dharmik Dave, in-charge of Vadodara Municipal Corporation, said that the rainy season has started recently. Out of the four zones of Vadodara city, 19 wards and road project branch which build and maintain large roads. So far, according to the road road survey, about 1500 potholes have been exposed in the survey, which have been filled with hot mix material, cold mix materials and wet mix materials. He further said that water and drainage works have been done on the service road of the bridge and other roads of the city, which was completed in such a way that it was completed before the monsoon. The monsoon had started a little earlier this year due to which we did not get time to carpet. Due to this, the road is maintained with vat mix material on all the roads, due to which there are potholes due to the start of rain. Carpeting will be done on certain roads when the rain will take a break and the sun will come and work will be carried out as part of a permanent solution.
