Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that several roads in Ranchi are being repaired, but many stretches still become difficult to drive on after heavy rainfall. Some construction work has also been moving quite slowly.
I recently read that the Chief Minister has given officials a two-month deadline to speed up delayed road projects. Hopefully, this leads to better-quality roads instead of temporary patchwork.
Has anyone else noticed improvements or are the same issues continuing in your area?
The situation in Dhanbad is mixed.
Some major roads have improved over the last couple of years, but many internal colony roads still develop potholes every monsoon. During peak traffic hours, even short distances take much longer because damaged roads slow everything down.
I think the focus shouldn’t only be on building new highways but also maintaining existing roads regularly.
I agree with Priya.
The state is investing in new highways and widening several important roads, which is definitely a positive step for long-distance connectivity. But inside towns and residential areas, maintenance often doesn’t receive the same attention. The Road Construction Department has multiple ongoing road strengthening and widening projects across Jharkhand, so hopefully these benefits reach urban roads as well.
As a daily commuter, I think citizens should also play a role.
Whenever we notice dangerous potholes, damaged bridges, or incomplete road work, we should report them with photos and the exact location. It helps local media and authorities identify problems faster.
I’m happy to see discussions like this because infrastructure improves when both the government and citizens stay engaged.
Hopefully, ongoing projects are completed on time and with better construction quality.
