    We get to see better maintained ,Cleaner roads now after decades of neglect ,no doubt there are minor mismanagement like the unfinished road repair work in front of CVNayak hall , which could easily have been done at least a month earlier, but the corporator and others seem to take it easy while the common man suffers each time while using the road. So efficient management requires everyone to pool in and be responsible
