Ardawad stated, “With the recent easing of the rains, the focus is on repairing main roads, internal roads, and those within the MIDC area. We are utilizing materials such as mastic, cold mix, and asphalt depending on the specific road type.” He highlighted that repairs are being conducted using scientifically sound methods, with an emphasis on maintaining consistent surface levels and proper alignment to prevent new potholes from forming.

"Special efforts are being concentrated on internal roads in anticipation of the Ganesh Festival. Priority is given to areas where Ganesh idols will be transported, immersion processions will occur, and public festival mandals will be situated, ensuring that these crucial routes are free from potholes," he added.
