The newly constructed road from Piraraj to Vorcotto has come under scrutiny due to poor construction quality, with locals raising alarms over the safety hazards it presents. The road lacks proper tarring and adequate filling, with potholes merely filled with loose gravel. This temporary fix has led to concerns about the road’s durability and safety, especially as the loose gravel increases the risk of vehicles slipping.
Residents in the area have criticized the irresponsible handling of the roadwork, pointing out that the absence of proper tarring is a major safety flaw. “All potholes have just been filled with loose gravel. There is no proper tarring at all, which shows the negligence of the engineer involved,” said a local. Many fear that the road will be further damaged and potentially washed away with the arrival of the upcoming monsoon season.
