New Delhi: The tragic death of a software engineer in Noida’s Sector-150 has once again highlighted the poor condition of roads in the National Capital, particularly along stretches of New Rohtak Road. Deep potholes and waterlogging have turned this vital route into a potential hazard for both motorists and pedestrians.
The stretch from Punjabi Bagh Chowk to Kamal T-Point is riddled with large potholes filled with water, while sections beneath the Jakhira Flyover are severely damaged, making it difficult even for pedestrians to pass safely. The deterioration has been compounded by ongoing construction, including cable-laying work near Kamal T-Point, leaving parts of the road dug up and unsafe. Near a petrol pump about 250 meters from Punjabi Bagh Chowk, the damaged road has been partially filled with soil, but dust and debris continue to rise, creating additional risks.
Residents report that despite sewer pipelines being installed by the Delhi Jal Board six months ago to address waterlogging, the road itself has not been repaired. Swami Narayan Road, which connects New and Old Rohtak Roads, also remains in a dilapidated state, further endangering commuters.
Local residents have warned that without immediate attention, the condition of these roads could lead to serious accidents, echoing the recent Noida tragedy.
