While the tribal hamlet inside Aarey Milk Colony may soon have its electricity and water woes resolved, good roads remain a far-fetched dream. With the monsoon already setting in, many crucial roads inside Aarey colony leading to the tribal hamlet are yet to be repaired. One such 400-metre stretch has at least 200 potholes, even before the rains have begun, and the situation is likely to become worse, locals fear.

Residents of Aarey Milk Colony have been complaining of the bad roads and the inconvenience they cause every day. "We have been staying here for decades but the internal roads in Aarey going towards unit 18 and 15 from Lotus lake have not been repaired yet. The 400-metre stretch is extremely uneven. Senior citizens and children who use this road daily face the most inconvenience," Imran Udat from unit number 18, told mid-day.
