Expressing concern over the dilapidated condition of roads in Shillong city, the Meghalaya High Court today directed the State PWD (Roads) to take immediate steps to repair the roads.
“The PWD (Roads) will do well to attend to all potholes that have surfaced as a result of lack of maintenance of the State roads or because of the rains, including in and around the major towns, particularly Shillong,” the division bench of the High Court said in its order today.
It may be mentioned that several roads in Shillong are in a deplorable condition with large potholes at various stretches causing hardships to commuters and the public.
Some of the potholed roads are Mawkhar Main Road, Lapalang to Rynjah Road, MES to Demseiniong Road, Polo to Nongmynsong Road, Mawlai Bypass, Lachaumiere to Dhankheti Road via Loretto School, Boucher Road (Them Bijoy), Mawlai Nongpdeng to Mawlai Iewrynghep Road, and Mawlai Phudmuri to Madan Heh Road.
