Following a mid-day report about pothole-ridden internal roads inconveniencing residents of Aarey Milk Colony, the authorities have started repair work. Locals have, however, pointed out that unless the filling is done correctly, the craters will return when rain resumes.

mid-day had reported about the crater-filled roads in its June 18 edition. While contractors have started the work on many internal roads, residents have raised questions on the quality. Resident Prabhu Swami told mid-day, “The roads of Aarey shouldn’t be called roads. They are rollercoaster rides. The contractors take up the work but never do it properly. There needs to be strict action, and penalties should be levied on contractors if roads develop potholes after repair.”
