The PVS circle-Lal Bagh road which was made into a dual carriage and concreted about three years ago has developed dangerous cracks near the Jail Road cross. While a thirty-year guarantee was given to the road, it has given way within three years, casting severe doubts on the workmanship and quality of laying of concrete. The MCC did some patchwork on Saturday. The concreted road, laid with the purpose of obviating the bitumenization every now and them, itself has caved in, which has created public outrage here.
