Nonsense or Roadsense!

Wow!! now that’s what you call a smooth road. After a long time of getting slammed and slashed on the dilapidated roads, we’ve come to this brand new, just opened up road. Feels awesome or rather out of this world. I can drive on this road whole day. Uh!… Oh!… Shit.. What the hell was that… POTHOLE!!! no no no.. Am i kidding my own self?? no!!! It’s unbelievable, but true! It’s not been even 24 hours and we already have potholes. All sweet dreams come to an end but isn’t it just too fast!
Now you must be thinking why i’m telling you all this.The point is, it is not just about the poor condition of roads in panchkula. Its the case with most of the roads in India. Just when everyone gets almost used to the dilapidated roads, the administration repairs them but sadly it is short-lived! They use the worst material they can and repair them in such a fashion that you feel as if it is not any better than driving on a village road – with pits on the very first day after inauguration, and carpeted with gravel.
Is that what we call development? What is reason for this rundown condition of the infrastructure? Is it simple negligence, or Is it corruption? Or just lack of interest in the actual welfare of the citizens or the ‘TAX PAYERS’ ? I don’t know what but this lack of honesty and increase in people’s greed is bound to leave us raided of our basic amenities and peace of mind .
