Chandigarh Chokes: Rain Fury Exposes City’s Crumbling Infrastructure
Heavy rainfall has left Chandigarh’s roads in a state of disrepair, posing significant safety and health risks to its residents. Reports of widespread waterlogging, deep potholes, and loose gravel are pouring in from across the city.
The deluge has rendered many roads impassable, causing major disruptions to daily life. Commuters are facing significant delays, and accidents are a growing concern.
Stagnant water in the numerous potholes and flooded areas presents a serious health hazard, with the risk of waterborne diseases escalating. Residents are expressing their frustration over the inadequate response from the municipal authorities.
The situation highlights a critical need for improved infrastructure and a more proactive approach to urban planning and disaster preparedness. The lack of timely maintenance and swift action in the face of such predictable monsoon challenges raises serious questions about the city’s administrative efficiency. The ongoing crisis underscores the urgent need for substantial investment in repairing damaged roads and improving the city’s drainage system to prevent similar situations in the future. This is particularly crucial as the monsoon season continues.
