New ₹45 Lakh Khandwa Road Develops Potholes Within Two Months
A new road in Khandwa was built for about ₹45 lakh.
It was finished before Guru Purnima.
After only two months, parts of the road developed potholes and peeling asphalt.
This makes travel harder for people walking and driving.
Residents worry rain could fill the potholes and cause accidents.
They want experts to check how the road was built.
They also want to know whether the contractor was fully paid after quality checks.
If the road was built poorly, residents want the contractor to fix it.
A road from Padmakund to Khandwa’s New Bus Stand cost around ₹45 lakh.
The road was completed before Guru Purnima but developed potholes within two months.
Peeling asphalt and damaged sections are creating difficulties for pedestrians and motorists.
Residents fear rainwater-filled potholes could increase the risk of accidents.
Locals are seeking an independent inspection, public report and repairs at the contractor’s expense if defects are confirmed.
