Now, of course, the clock is ticking for the monsoon but even if something needs to be done in two-three days it should be done so, pronto.

We also must see that all the helplines and avenues where people are supposed to complain, are working, accessible and truly effective. While there is a team to attend to the pothole complaints, citizens are often frustrated that there is so much rigmarole and passing the buck, after complaints are filed. There is also the common retort post pothole mishaps. Workers state that they are unable to carry out repairs as continuous rain is a hindrance. While this may very well be true, if there is a significant, deep depression signage warning vehicles should be considered.

Drivers must cut their speed during this season. Vehicles must be working well, especially brake checks and wipers do the job, as visibility is a significant problem. Two-wheelers, many of them guilty of simply riding through signals, going the wrong way and taking U-turns and short cuts, climbing onto pavements (the bollards have stopped this at certain junctures but not brought it to a complete halt) need to be stopped. It may be time for a concerted campaign against this flagrant flouting of laws. Rain ready equals to road ready in this commuting-centric city.
