Poor quality material used in NH repair?

Published on: 

The recently repaired roads on the National Highway have started giving up before its stipulated time frame, causing huge inconvenience to the commuters. However, department officials completely ruled out the use of sub-standard material while filling the potholes before the arrival of President of India, in mid this month.

The huge potholes were reported to be emerged on national highway between Rispana bridge and Kuanwala and were immediately repaired by the department concerned ahead of the President of India’s visit to the capital city in early October. The situation of the roads was same in the month of August during his visit.

The department concerned had repaired the roads before his visit to the capital city but the quality of materials used was gauzed by the fact the recently repaired roads and potholes have started giving up before its stipulated given time frame thus causing huge inconvenience to the commuters. The condition of the roads could be gauzed by the fact that huge amount of the pebbles were easily noticeable on the roads and proving very slippery for the two wheeler riders. One of the department sources who wished anonymity completely ruled out the use of sub standard material while repairing the roads.
