Both the concreted and non-concreted parts of the Aarey main road have their own reasons for causing problems to commuters, traffic police, wildlife, and bus drivers. The concreted section has diversions and crossroads of three different heights meeting each other, while the non-concreted section lacks dividers, causing vehicles to crash into each other after entering the wrong lane, as claimed by the traffic police. The locals have additional concerns.
“For how long are they going to fill potholes with mud and leftover tar that gets washed away the next day? Last month, someone died after hitting the bottom of a pothole near Picnic Garden. Every bump of the pothole hurts my back while driving the rickshaw, which is why I wear a brace,” said Raju Patil, a rickshaw driver.
