Tura, Aug 16: An innocuous pothole at a major intersection near the Tura Civil Hospital in Tura town has become a major hazard for local commuters, primarily motorcyclists and drivers navigating the busy road. The peculiar twist is that this neglected pothole now doubles as a water fountain, exacerbating the troubles of those using the road.
Sitting at the heart of one of Tura’s crucial roadways, the pothole in question has not only garnered attention now that it is spewing mouthfuls of water but has also raised eyebrows due to its consistent disregard by the concerned authorities. The road is a key thoroughfare of the town, linking the Tura Civil Hospital to vital administrative centres including the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department and the Public Works Department (PWD) office, among others.
As vehicular traffic converges on this pivotal road, the predicament is becoming more evident by the day. The looming question remains: Will a mishap finally jolt the concerned department into action, or will this perilous situation persist, leaving citizens at risk?
A concerned motorist, who preferred to remain anonymous, candidly shared his experience with Hub News, stating, “We have to do zigzag to cross this as the lane has incoming traffic downwards and upwards and is also dangerous.”
The absence of prompt intervention has raised broader concerns about local governance and infrastructure maintenance. The safety of commuters is at stake, and the community is left pondering whether bureaucratic apathy will continue.
As citizens continue to navigate this peculiar obstacle course on their daily commutes, the hope for swifter action to rectify this hazardous issue remains a focal point for all.
