The 27-km-long Mhow-Ghatabillod four lane road is dilapidated and require immediate attention. The road which was constructed at Rs 177 crore is worsening due to lack of maintenance by toll collecting company.
Even after collecting lakhs of rupees of toll tax, nothing in terms of maintenance is done by toll collecting company.
This Mhow-Ghatabillod road which is around 7 km in Indore district and remaining 20 km in Dhar district faces severe stress from Pitampura Industrial Area housing over 700 factories and scores of vehicles for transportation on daily basis.
The road is full of potholes, broken road dividers and damages road patches. The big sized truck tyres failed to escape from large potholes and stuck creating traffic jam, waste of time and money of the factory owners and transporters.
Two wheelers and light motor vehicles find it very difficult to commute on the road. In accidents people have lost life due to the worsen condition of the road.
Locals have raised the issue with the administration. After long demands District Collector have provided information of much needed intervention by administration.
Collector Dhar Shrikant Banoth told ‘The Pioneer’ that the contractor is now not able to run and maintain road and now the government will look after this project and for repair and renovation tender would be floated in coming months.
