Deep potholes on High Ground Road in Mohali are causing major disruptions for thousands of motorists, prompting complaints to local authorities.
High Ground Road in Mohali has developed a series of deep potholes that are impeding traffic flow. Motorists report that the depressions are large enough to damage vehicle suspensions and cause sudden braking, leading to congestion during peak hours.
The condition has affected thousands of daily commuters, many of whom have been forced to take longer alternate routes or halt their journeys altogether. Drivers have taken to social media and local helplines to voice their frustration and request urgent repairs.
Municipal officials have been alerted to the situation, and the city’s public works department is expected to assess the road and prioritize remedial work. In the meantime, commuters are advised to exercise caution and follow any temporary traffic advisories issued by the authorities.
The pothole problem underscores broader infrastructure challenges faced by rapidly growing urban centers in Punjab, where road maintenance often struggles to keep pace with increasing vehicle numbers.
Local residents hope that swift action will restore normal traffic conditions on one of Mohali’s key arterial routes.
