“Many employees in JDA, the Municipal Corporation, JDA, are residents of the area.They should be able to feel for the city more because it is the place they are from.
Since they’re getting to work in their area, should they not also be working towards the poor gaining their rights? he asked.
In fact, the majority of the roads in the city are clogged with potholes that have formed after the rains.
Even though the rains seem to have been halted but the roads are damaged with no authorities taking the initiative to repair them.
