“It is the PWD officials who are responsible for monitoring the quality of materials used and the workmanship. Hence, they need to be held accountable for the alarming deterioration of these roads. It’s high time that we need to question the government and PWD on their utter incompetence in this regard,” said GA President Swapnesh Sherlekar.
GA member Santosh Tari lamented that the shoddy state of the highways and village roads have caused tremendous inconvenience to the commuters and have caused damage to their vehicles as well as their human bodies. “Every vehicle owner is compelled to pay road tax, but yet there is no responsibility on the government to provide decent roads,” Tari quipped.
