Potholes Potholes All The Way

Potholes have become a permanent feature rather characteristics of the roads of Kolkata....you turn and look anyway and you will find potholes. The roads here are so bad that even if a little rain falls the roads are in a mess. Just near my house the whole road is covered by potholes and every ride on that road is too a bumpy ride and not to mention is dangerous when auto rickshaws and hand pulled rickshaws run on that because they can trip on them any time. Just yesterday an auto rickshaw tripped over on the road just in front of my house in Behala but fortunately no one got hurt. But of course it does not bother the municipality to repair these roads........yes until and unless there are elections coming up or unless an innocent life is taken away by these potholes or may be even that won’t stir them.

Why the hell are people paying taxes if the government does not make any attempt to maintain the roads....so many cases have been reported where potholes have caused deaths and can the government compensate for so many human lives including those of small kids. We really don’t need ministers in our country who only want to win the elections and once that’s over they simply forget their duties towards us.

Kolkata really has one of the messiest and dirtiest roads ...but why not maintain the roads and make them equally better to the roads of other cities in India. Do we really need the compliment “The roads here are wonderfully dirty”?
