Large potholes and dislodged gravel have caused multiple accidents, with motorcyclists and vehicle passengers sustaining injuries. Sewer covers protruding from damaged roads have added to the dangers.

Despite repeated complaints to the local councillor, no remedial action has been taken. Residents have now submitted a written request to OP Srivastava, MLA of the East Assembly constituency, who has assured that the road will be reconstructed soon.
