Bad roads rattle locals

East Anandbagh: The roads at Thalla Basti, East Anandbagh has turned into a nerve-racking experience for motorists as they have to dodge potholes and manoeuvre past poorly resurfaced roads that cause damage to their tyres and rims.

Motorcyclists find it difficult and dangerous to navigate on the roads, which are a patchwork of crumbling asphalt and ever-widening potholes that can cause them to fall off their vehicles.

A daily commuter shared, "I hit a pothole a few weeks back and lost the grip on the handlebar and was almost thrown off my bike. However, I managed to control the bike in time or else it could have turned out to be a severe accident."

According to the motorists, the pothole had been there for several months and was getting bigger. Commuters, especially motorists, are forced to swerve to avoid the pothole, making it dangerous to other road users on the two-lane road.
