Speaking to GPlus, Sahir Ahmed, a local student, said, "The road is in terrible condition." Many commuters have echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the risks posed by the damaged road.  

Officials from the Public Works Department (PWD) have attributed the delay in repairs to inadequate funding. “There is a drainage issue in that area. But, no funds have been sanctioned to improve the condition.”

Despite repeated complaints from residents, the road remains neglected, leaving the area’s commuters to endure daily inconvenience and potential safety hazards.
