Patna Roads: Residents Worry Over Delayed Repairs Amid Monsoon
Patna residents are worried because some roads are still damaged and under construction despite the approaching monsoon season.
The city's roads were dug up for projects, but repairs are delayed.
This causes problems like traffic jams, waterlogging, and unsafe conditions.
