Mumbai Roads To Hell
Is it poor planning of the civic authorities or work pressure that make the city roads messy?
Throughout the year, Mumbais roads are under construction time and again. Sometimes it is the leaking pipelines underground or sometimes it is the damaged roads that need to be repaired for which people are forced to face the consequences till the work is complete.

They suddenly remember about the project when the public complains about the inconvenience caused and then realise that the deadline of the project is approaching.
