Greater Noida: Questions have been raised over the quality of road repair work outside Adarsh Vihar Society in Sector Chi-4, Greater Noida, after the newly repaired stretch reportedly developed damage within two days of work starting. On October 22, Apartment Times reported that repair work had begun on the long-neglected road, which had been riddled with potholes and posed risks to commuters, particularly two-wheeler riders. However, the reported deterioration shortly after the work began has raised concerns among local residents over whether the repair will provide lasting relief.
Before the repair work started, residents and commuters had complained about the road’s damaged surface and the risk of accidents. Several two-wheeler riders had reportedly slipped and sustained injuries while navigating the potholes. The commencement of repair work had raised hopes that the problem would finally be resolved. However, the reported damage within two days has renewed concerns about construction quality and the need for proper supervision. Residents expect the concerned authorities to inspect the stretch and ensure that the repair meets the required standards.
The development has raised questions about the durability of the repair work and the accountability of the officials responsible for overseeing it. Residents expect the Greater Noida Authority and the concerned department to examine the condition of the road, identify the reason for the damage and take corrective action. The aim, they say, should be to ensure that public money is spent on durable infrastructure rather than repairs that may need to be repeated soon after completion. An official response on the reported damage was not available at the time of writing.
