A new, durable patchwork technique used by the Indore Municipal Corporation to repair roads has failed to withstand the initial monsoon rains, with potholes reappearing just four days after application.
Indore's roads have once again revealed their poor condition with the onset of the monsoon season. The Indore Municipal Corporation had recently claimed to have used a new technique for durable road repairs, even during the rainy period.
However, this experiment proved short-lived. The newly applied patchwork, touted for its resilience, could not withstand the initial rainfall and began to deteriorate rapidly. Potholes have reappeared on the same stretches where repairs were recently completed, raising questions about the efficacy of the new technology.
The failure of this repair method so quickly after its implementation highlights the challenges faced in maintaining road infrastructure during the monsoon in Indore.
