Monsoon Causes Potholes and Damage on Key Roads Across Delhi
Delhi's roads have suffered significant damage during the monsoon season, with potholes, broken bitumen, and uneven surfaces reported across key routes such as Mathura Road and Geeta Colony bridge. Experts attribute the deterioration to poor drainage and outdated stormwater systems, which cause water accumulation and weaken pavement structures. Public Works Department officials have acknowledged the issue and stated that repair work is underway on affected stretches. Local residents report persistent water spillage and road damage lasting several months.
