Despite the tall claims of the chief minister and assurances from the BMC, the concreting of roads is going on at a snail’s pace with only 68 km of roads completed in the past 12 months. But this was not the picture before. Interestingly, the BMC had concreted on an average 150 km roads annually in the past few years.
