The news

What we know

Coverage describes uneven carriageways on 4th Main Road and nearby stretches after CMWSSB underground drainage, footpath widening, and storm-water drain construction. Residents and two-wheeler riders report hazardous mid-lane bumps where trenches were refilled in haste.

Ward-level officials quoted in the report indicated that a large share of drainage scope was already complete, with remaining work expected within a two-month window—readers should treat dates as press snapshots and confirm on the ground.

Analysis: what this means locally

Safer riding until resurfacing lands

Treat night rain + fresh fill as higher skid risk. If the corporation opens a patch complaint channel for your ward, photograph GPS-tagged potholes rather than forwarding anonymous forwards.

When bus routes deviate around works, note whether seniors and schoolchildren still have a safe walking line—sometimes the motorable lane heals before the footpath does.
