A local rickshaw driver is taking out time daily to fill the potholes on the internal roads using paver blocks and road repair material dumped on the side

Though the Public Works Department and Aarey CEO office started repairing the roads a couple of days back, nothing much has improved
The pothole menace in Mumbai is slowly becoming the very character of the city, with the authorities concerned least bothered about looking into what creates those huge craters on roads and eventually solving the problem. Even as different parts of the city are coping with the problem, the situation at Aarey Colony seems to be worse. The potholes on the internal roads of Aarey, which connects the tribal hamlets and cattle farms with the main road, have become a nightmare for commuters.
Though the Public Works Department (PWD) and the Aarey CEO office started the repairs around 15 days back, nothing much has improved on the 10-km stretch. However, a local rickshaw driver is setting a true example by taking out time from his daily schedule and filling the potholes using paver blocks and repair material dumped on the side of roads.
