Road Repair Works in Cochin Started

At last the Corporation of Cochin has decided to do some repair works on the road, but so far the repair works has been too pathetic. Instead of tarring the road properly, they are just focusing on doing patch works, which have made the travel more miserable than before.

They have just scattered some stones and sandwiched it with a roller and there is not smoothness in riding a vehicle along this road. Let us hope that the corporation would do a neat tarring once the patch work is completed. Otherwise this maintenance work would be in vein as it would be washed away in the next heavy rain.

Tarring works  have started in the highway also as there were huge potholes which made it really dangerous to drive vehicles especially two wheelers. But the quality of these tarring would be visible only after the next two or three heavy rains.
