Patparganj’s crumbling roads trouble traders in East Delhi

Video captured on a busy market lane in Patparganj reveals a network of deep potholes and uneven surfaces that have deteriorated over months. Traders lining the street reported frequent damage to carts, delayed deliveries and loss of customers who avoid the hazardous stretch.
Local shop owners said the poor condition of the road forces them to spend extra time and money on vehicle repairs and hampers the flow of goods. Many expressed concerns that the situation could push small businesses out of the area if not addressed promptly.
Municipal officials have not yet issued a timeline for repairs, and residents are urging the Delhi government to prioritize resurfacing the affected stretch before the monsoon season exacerbates the damage.
