JAIPUR: For over a year now, residents of Ward 97 in Sanganer have been living with broken roads, flooded streets, and rising frustration, but officials are yet to act.
The stretch from Jain Nasiyan Temple to Gate No. 74 has become a picture of administrative apathy, with deep potholes and stagnant water creating daily hazards for commuters and pedestrians alike.
Despite repeated appeals by local councillor Sannu Chaudhary, neither Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) nor JMC-Greater have done any repair or drainage work. The councillor submitted several formal requests for construction of a concrete (CC) road and a permanent water drainage system, but all went unanswered.
"It's been a year. I submitted multiple letters to the JDA commissioner, yet not a single step was taken," said Chaudhary. "Every time it rains, this road turns into a death trap. How long will the public suffer?"
The area surrounding the Jain temple, a key point in the locality, becomes treacherous during monsoons. The damage, originally caused during the laying of the Bisalpur water pipeline, was never addressed. Residents say that after the pipeline work was completed, the road was left unrepaired, a lapse that continues to cause accidents and traffic congestion.
Adding to the outrage is the fact that this ward falls under the chief minister's own constituency. Locals are questioning how, even here, basic infrastructure needs remain unmet. "If this is the state of roads in the CM's area, what hope is there for the rest of the city?" Chaudhary asked.
He warned that if urgent action is not taken, the residents may have no choice but to protest. "We're not asking for luxury, just safe, motorable roads. The silence of the authorities is unacceptable," he said.
