Whither road maintenance?
However, road users are perhaps supposed to suffer because they pay the tax for its maintenance. What else to expect, because in our country, irony has become the norm. For instance, a portion of Toyenbee Circular Road, just before meeting the Hatkhola road, is in so dilapidated condition for year on that it has simply become hazardous for any automobile. And this is a very important thoroughfare always under heavy traffic.
Another instance is from a locality. A lane called Dr Radhashyam Shaha Street or North Maishundi, running north-south from Hare Street west-end to Tipu Sultan Road is just left unrepaired for year on after allowing indiscriminate digging many a time. The residents are of course tax payers, and ironically are perhaps destined to suffer! Shall the authorities come to senses, ever?
