Damaged Road
“In developing countries, lack of infrastructure is a far more serious barrier to trade than tariffs.” — Joseph Stiglitz
Above is a very famous saying by a famous thinker/philosopher. The issue I m raising concern for is the serious and critical condition of the only road which links to the village named Karyala. We can observe the devastating condition of the road from the pictures, which is a major problem every day for every resident of that village.
The road I am mentioning is the only single-main road which further takes us to two more further villages through this route along with the potholes and poorly maintained road.
ISSUE:1 POTHOLES
These large and deep potholes critically damage the vehicle parts which makes the residents face a financial loss in covering and maintaining their vehicles too. These potholes makes the traffic move slowly causing enough trouble in the rush hours also having a single road.
ISSUE:2 No proper drainage solution

This road comes with more serious issues like having no proper drainage, the rain water is collected for longer periods which causes to further deteriorating the road. This problem would create further trouble to the residents because this is their only road.
ISSUE: 3 Narrow and poorly maintained road
The road comes with a very limited space for vehicles to move and pass safely. The problem is not only that this is a single road but also that the road is poorly maintained with uneven and broken edges of the road with damaged asphalt and stones.
It is the right of every citizen to have freedom and move easily but what is the point of moving when the citizens face difficulties in having the access to the roads, cities and major areas of the town. The travelers from outside face damaged road issues, traffic issues and get their clothes covered with dirt everyday and this is a major problem everyday for them. The municipal committee or the council should take actions for the wellness and safety of the public and ensure their safety by maintaining the condition of the road.
