Bhiwandi Roads Remain Pothole-Ridden Even In Mayor's Wards

In the city of Bhiwandi, many roads have big holes called potholes.

During the rainy season, the holes fill up with water and make it hard and unsafe for people to walk or drive.

Even the neighborhoods looked after by the city's top leaders, like the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, have these holes.

One pregnant woman even had to give birth inside an autorickshaw on her way to the hospital because traffic was stuck near a damaged road.

The city government has money set aside for fixing roads, but the repairs are only temporary.

Workers fill the holes with stones, but heavy rain washes the stones away, so the holes come back.

The city leaders say bigger, proper repairs will start once the rain stops.

People who live in Bhiwandi hope the roads will finally be fixed for good so everyone can travel safely.
