Nagpur: With vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting Nagpur on September 16 and 19, the district and civic administration have hurriedly taken steps to ensure the roads on their travel routes are free of potholes. Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), which had long neglected potholes on the Wardha Road double-decker flyover near Ajni Metro station, citing jurisdiction issues, finally carried out repairs late Monday night.
However, while the VVIP routes are being smoothed out, many roads regularly used by tax paying citizens continue to be riddled with potholes, endangering lives and causing severe inconvenience.
