Guwahati Roads Struggle: Potholes Hinder Progress
Imagine Guwahati's roads are like a bumpy playground.
Right now, they're filled with holes called potholes, making it hard to ride bikes or drive cars.
These potholes cause accidents and damage cars, costing people money.
The city is trying to fix this by making sure different groups work together better when they build or fix roads.
They're also trying to stop so many holes from appearing in the first place, because smooth roads are important for everyone.
Guwahati residents face daily challenges due to persistent potholes.
Potholes cause traffic snarls and pose safety risks, especially for two-wheeler riders.
Potholes lead to vehicle damage, increasing repair costs.
Poor coordination among civic agencies and seasonal rains contribute to the pothole problem.
Government is implementing measures to improve road management, but the impact is yet to be seen.
