Indian roads are no more than a mess especially during the monsoon season. Water lodging is a common problem which we face every year. Before the rains hit the roads, every municipality of Indian cities like Delhi or Mumbai claims that they have worked enough and this time rain won’t be able to create mess on the city roads. Yet, every year we see that the administration is just unable to curb this menace of water lodging on roads. While situations become typically bad on inner city roads, the outer roads connecting various villages and towns from the main city suffer much more issues.

Better Public Road System is a Fantasy
Rs 332.45 crores were spent to improve and beautify Delhi roads before Common Wealth Games 2010. It is obvious that Delhi roads are much beautiful now than they were ever before. However, there are many sub-standard roads in Delhi which are in shambles at present when rain is pouring up all the road ditches and holes heavily.
