It is a matter of regret that in today’s era of Air Bus and Air Taxi, our area is even devoid of well-built roads. The roads are full of pits. These pits are not visible. There is a great problem for school going children who cannot manage to ride their bicycles safely through such streets. The rainy season worsens the situation by causing water logging of these pits. The waterlogged places become a breeding hub of mosquitoes which invites malaria, dengue, etc. Despite the numerous efforts of the people living here, nothing fruitful has emerged.
I hope you will look into the matter at the earliest and do something constructive about it.
Yours faithfully
