EM Bypass Potholes Return, KMC Adopts Paver Blocks

EM Bypass Potholes Return, KMC Adopts Paver Blocks

Some roads in Kolkata, like the EM Bypass, have potholes again soon after being fixed.

This makes the roads bumpy and slows down traffic.

The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is trying to fix the problem by putting down paver blocks, which are like durable tiles.

The main problem is that water collects on these roads because the underground drainage isn't good enough.

Although paver blocks can help, a construction expert says the real fix is to improve how water drains away.
