We had requested a speed breaker on this road one year back, and the PMC authorities even conducted an inspection of the road, but later nothing happened. The road is filled with sand and mud that falls from the trucks carrying construction waste, and the PMC does not bother to deep clean the road, making it more risky to commute during the rains. We as a resident body are continuously following up with the PMC on these issues.”Another resident, under the condition of anonymity, while talking to LokmatTimes.com, stated, “The roads in Kalyani Nagar have turned into death traps for commuters. It was only two months since the Porsche car accident, and now a school kid is a victim of another accident. It is a total failure of the civic system. The roads need to have proper speed breakers to control speeding vehicles. The PMC and Traffic Branch should find a solution to this issue.”
