New Delhi, an accident occurred on the night of February 24 near KM Chowk in Dwarka Sector-12, when a part of the service lane suddenly collapsed. A car fell into the pit in this accident. Fortunately, the car rider did not get much injury, but this incident has once again exposed the poor condition of Delhi's roads.

According to the local people, this road was already weak and despite repeated complaints, the administration did not pay attention to it. The road had become even weaker due to rain, which led to this accident. People made a video of this accident and also started sharing it on social media. At present, the pothole on the road has been cordoned off, and repair work may start soon.

The condition of Delhi's roads and the government's concern

The condition of Delhi's roads has been a matter of concern for a long time. Potholes, waterlogging and sinking roads have become a common problem. Due to the poor condition of roads in many areas including Dwarka, Rohini, Laxmi Nagar, Karol Bagh, accidents are happening every day.

Recently, Delhi's Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Pravesh Verma inspected many important development projects of Delhi along with PWD officials. He reviewed the progress of road construction and improvement works and instructed the officials to speed up the work. The minister especially asked to give priority to road construction work in those areas where there are most potholes and bad roads.

Trouble increased after rain

Due to rain, the condition of Delhi's roads has worsened further. Due to waterlogging and weak construction, roads are sinking in many places, increasing the risk of accidents. The incident of Dwarka Sector-12 is also considered to be the result of this problem.

Local people say that till the PWD and other concerned departments do not pay attention to the quality in the construction of roads, such incidents will continue to happen. The Delhi government has recently announced several road improvement projects, but people are upset due to their slow pace.

The administration should take strict steps

In view of the incidents of road collapse and potholes happening every day in Delhi, the administration needs to be more active. The government should give priority to regular inspection and repair work of roads, so that the safety of the people can be ensured.

Such incidents happening in the country's capital are a warning that if concrete steps are not taken as soon as possible, such accidents will continue to happen in the future. Now it remains to be seen what concrete steps the new government of Delhi takes to improve the roads of Delhi after this incident.
