₹3 Lakh Crore Road Budget: Why Are Dangerous Potholes Still Putting Lives at Risk?
India has invested heavily in roads, highways, and transport infrastructure over the years. Yet, one everyday problem continues to affect millions of commuters-dangerous potholes.
For many drivers and especially two-wheeler riders, a pothole is more than an inconvenience. It can damage vehicles, cause serious accidents, and become even more dangerous during the monsoon when water hides the depth of the road.
The real discussion isn't just about how much money is allocated for road projects. It's about construction quality, regular maintenance, timely repairs, and accountability. Building new roads is important, but keeping them safe is just as essential.
I came across this detailed breakdown that explores why potholes continue to be a major road safety concern despite significant investments in infrastructure.
What do you think is the biggest reason behind India's pothole problem-poor maintenance, weak accountability, construction quality, or delayed repairs?
