More than 60,000 live in Aarey. mid-day has highlighted the bad condition of internal roads in Aarey several times.
The situation of some roads is so bad that auto-rickshaws and cab drivers refuse to come to the area. Cattle farm owner Imran Udat said, “Don’t we deserve better road infrastructure? The Konkan Vikas Mahamandal Road leading to Unit 15 from Lotus Lake is in such poor condition that it causes significant inconvenience. Senior citizens are particularly affected, as cab and rickshaw drivers are unwilling to travel this route. While authorities have begun repairing the road from Aarey Market to Royal Palms, we are left wondering when our road will receive the same attention.”
