Newly Built Roads in Mohali and Ludhiana Show Early Signs of Damage
Two recently constructed roads in Punjab's Mohali and Ludhiana have shown early signs of deterioration, raising concerns about construction quality and oversight. The Mohali road, built for 1.5 crore, developed potholes within seven months, with residents and officials calling for investigations and stronger infrastructure. Similarly, Ludhiana's Gill Road, resurfaced at a cost of 4.40 crore, exhibits cracks and uneven patches, prompting calls for inspections and inquiries into municipal supervision. Local authorities have acknowledged the issues and promised accountability measures.
