In Odisha's Brajrajnagar Municipality area commuting during monsoon is a struggle for the residents. Water puddles dot the roads. The condition prevails in the Municipality which was awarded as the best Municipality by the Chief Minister this year. Ironically, Brajrajnagar Municipality was also described as the fast track Municipality.
The Mahabirnagar-Khaliakani main road is pathetic. This road remains waterlogged almost throughout the monsoon rendering it totally unsafe for motorists. In the last six years, the authorities have not paid any attention to its repair and reconstruction.
The road was constructed by the Municipality in 2007, no repair or maintenance work has been taken up. As there is no alternative to the road, the residents have no option but to rely on this unsafe road for their daily communication.
