We have all been criticising about what is not being done by the government. However, we rarely give our own solutions to any problem that we see. May be the suggestion is ridiculous - but still if we look things in a positive way may be we can suggest solutions which some one can like and decide to implement. I know this is very wishful thinking but this is surely better than just criticising.

Pot Holes on Roads

Come rains and we find our roads in bad shape. Pages after pages in the newspapers give the reports with visuals of how bad our roads have become. Imaging on the one hand we are making great strides in development on all fronts and still we have not been able to devise ways to make our roads weather proof. If we have our research scholars find out the loss we incurr because of this our eyes will open wide. Imagine the cost of making these roads, then repairing it, the cost of vehicle maintenance, the loss of fuel, the extra time consumed to cover a distance and the mental stress!
As a concerned citizen do we write to authorities about all this? Who knows your letter reaches in the right hands and an immediate action is taken. We should also send our suggestions as to how we all can help in improving this situation. Experts amongst us, who know better of how these roads should be made, who have had the experience and have the expertise should surely send in their expert views. Don't ever feel that your letter and the efforts you have put in will go waste - at least you will have the satisfaction that you have done your bit.

Hi,

Good work, but I think your newspaper can help in a better way.

These news should always be given with a warning to citizen to drive carefully, more carefully in night and at what speed.

It should come with a information like when it was buildup, who make it and how many road made by this company which has gone worst in short period.

you should give name of department and responsible engineer for these poor performance.

In last you can suggest how they should make a road which can sustain for longer.

Good comments but need more positive comments and also better to publish the name of responsible construction company, Engineers of department and their past records.
