Sector – 6, Pacnhkula

December 28th, 2005

Locations : Road leading to the main market of Sector 6, from the main road dividing Sectors 6 and 7
Description : The picture shows the monstrous ” Vehicle Halting” pothole, with a depth of about 6 inches ( a little less than the ground clearnace of various cars).Even a person crossing it at a slow speed of 20km/h experiences a rude,head banging shock(I crossed it in a maruti Zen at about 30 km/h and it felt as if the car had blown apart… and ofcourse, the axle got damaged!)

This whole road is cramped with potholes.The average speed on this road is 15km/h with halts every 5 seconds.Thus there are no speed checks or monitoring traffic police on this road!

Sector – 6, Pacnhkula

December 27th, 2005

Location : Outside House No.87 and 66 , Sector 6, Panchkula.
Description : The terrible state of the road can be seen in the picture.The huge pothole is covering most of the width of this part of the road.It stays filled with water throughout the year round (as there seems to be a water pipe under it which maybe has developed cracks! )
The road is highly traversed by the residents of our sector and the commuters have a trouble everytime they reach this part of the road.

Not only this , the wole length of this road is filled with potholes of all kinds of shapes and sizes.
The only plus point of these potholes is – The drivers need to drive at a snails pace!!!

Sector – 7 Panchkula

December 21st, 2005

From the fountain roundabout (near HSEB) if you take the dividing road between sector-6 and 7 and immediately enter sector-7 on the service road, you will have a jerky ride over the potholes with some splashes of water leaked from underground waterpipe. This condition is there since the last rains. If you continue further you will find the potholes in front of # nos 124 down to 121. During rains this road serves as drainage canal for flood waters as the rain water traps remain blocked. Looks as if the material used for last road carpeting was of inferior quality.

Rough road and patches on internal road in Sector – 44A in front of Officers Flat Nos. 503-504 leading to Indian Oil Flats # 521-526.

Sector 38 West

December 4th, 2005

Sector 38 West
Roads and parks in Sector 38 (West) are in a pitiable condition. There is hardly any stretch of roads in the area without potholes. The parks are unkempt and green grass is missing in majority of them .

Roads in the area are all worn out. Road signs are missing here. Vehicular traffic is badly affected. The potholes in the roads are a big problem for those walking on them.

There are small stretches of open parks which have been maintained by the residents themselves. The parks have only patches of green grass and the dry soil leads to dust every where.

The sector is one of the major entry points for traffic from Punjab through Mohali. This portion witnesses traffic of heavy vehicles.

Another major problem in this residential area is the theft of manhole covers. Dozens of them have been stolen. “The residential quarters here are surrounded by a slum and there are no gates to check the entry of the outsiders. We are requesting the administration to construct gates at the entry points, which can be closed at least during the nights,� Mr Manohar Kumar Garg, president of the Joint Action Committee of the sector, said.

Mr V.K. Bhardwaj, Chief Engineer, said the recarpeting of the roads would be done “in the very near future. The details of the project have already been worked out�.
