Potholed roads

As the rainy season is drawing to the end, the rains have become less sporadic. In other words, the rains are about to bid adieu to us. However, one can see the tell-tale signs of the magnitude of the monsoon rains on the face of the city thoroughfares--the potholes, the loose gravels and stones and the crater-like formations. We, the common people, have to suffer a lot as travelling by a tempo or local bus has become, to a great extent, a bumpy ride. And I am talking about the main roads that are used by thousands of commuters every day. The condition of the narrow alleys is even more miserable. Again there are some open man-holes and lost slabs on the side walks that pose great danger to the unwary pedestrians. If you are absent-minded, while walking on these pavements, you may lose a limb or get seriously hurt. Especially, the night-walkers are facing danger as they have to watch out for these traps. We hope that the authorities will look into the matter and repair those damaged roads.
