Gujarat: Navsari Municipal Corportation starts resurfacing work of roads damaged due to rain

Navsari Municipal Corporation starts night-time road repairs after monsoon damage, with 247 complaints addressed in 2 days.

"Our teams are working at night so people don’t face any problems. – Dev Choudhary, Navsari Municipal Commissioner"

Navsari, July 16

The Municipal Corporation has started the resurfacing work of roads in Navsari city, Gujarat, after they were affected by rain.

Municipal Commissioner Dev Choudhary inspected the resurfacing work on Tuesday night to ensure it is completed on time without causing any additional inconvenience to commuters.

Speaking with ANI, Choudhary said, "In the Navsari Municipal Corporation, wherever the roads were damaged due to the rainy season, our team is carrying out the repair work."

The Navasari Municipal Corporation have also issued a helpline number for damaged roads. Dev Choudhary said that all the complaints will be resolved within two days.

"We have received 247 complaints, of which work is ongoing on 21 complaints. We will resolve the complaints in the next two days," he said.

The Municipal Commissioner said that the resurfacing work is being done at night so people do not face any problem.

"Our teams are working at night so people don't face any problems. We aim to complete resurfacing of the roads in the next two days," he said.

On Tuesday, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel initiated round-the-clock, top-priority restoration work to repair roads damaged by heavy monsoon rains across National Highways, State Highways, and roads in villages, towns, and cities.

He reviewed the ongoing repair works of roads and bridges across the state through the video wall of the CM Dashboard, according to an official statement by the CM's office.

"The repair instructions based on the pre-monsoon inspection of roads, bridges, culverts, and causeways must be implemented strictly with no lapses or negligence," the Chief Minister stated.

He instructed officials to adopt a proactive approach to road repairs to ensure not only the quick restoration of traffic movement and the immediate redressal of citizens' complaints, but also to give top priority to road maintenance.

Chief Minister guided that sufficient materials like gravel, bitumen, machinery, and white-topping supplies for repair work should be organised at the district, city, and municipal levels under the coordination of the state's Roads and Buildings Department.

Good initiative by the Municipal Corporation. Night work is thoughtful as it reduces traffic disruptions. But why does this happen every year? Shouldn't we have more durable road construction methods for monsoon season?

The helpline number is a great step! In my area, the roads have been damaged for weeks. Just submitted my complaint - let's see if they really resolve it in 2 days as promised. Fingers crossed!

While I appreciate the work, I hope the quality is monitored. Last year's repairs didn't even last a month before potholes reappeared. Taxpayers' money should be used more efficiently!

Visiting Navsari for business and impressed with the proactive approach. In many countries, road repairs take months. Completing in 2 days is ambitious but commendable if achieved!

The CM's focus on pre-monsoon preparations next year is the real solution. Reactive repairs are good, but preventive maintenance would save so much money and inconvenience! 👏
