NHAI Neglects Rayagada Road Upkeep
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for taking care of and improving the National Highway that goes through Rayagada.
However, even after many people in charge have changed and promises were made, not much has been done to fix the roads.
During a recent festival, the roads were in such bad shape that visitors were unhappy.
The NHAI has only completed a small part of the repair work, and it was done poorly.
The people of Rayagada are very disappointed and have asked for help from higher officials to fix this problem.
NHAI has neglected the upkeep of the National Highway passing through Rayagada.
Only 10% of the repair and beautification work has been completed in over three months.
The minor patchwork done was hasty and disappointing to residents.
Visitors during the Chaiti festival were displeased with the road conditions.
Local residents have appealed for immediate intervention from senior officials.
