The Chhattisgarh High Court has shown dissatisfaction with the bad conditions of the roads.

During an important court session, the High Court expressed unhappiness with the condition of roads after a public interest lawsuit was filed about their poor state. Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha was displeased, especially noting that despite previous promises, nothing had improved. The issue was worsened by non-working street lights.

In the hearing on Thursday, it was revealed that Rs. 22.5 crore had been allocated to fix a badly damaged road near the Legislative Assembly. However, issuing tenders was delayed due to the Model Code of Conduct being in effect.

The bench of Judges Ramesh Kumar Sinha and Ravindra Agrawal directed quick tender issuance, with the Advocate General overseeing the process. Chief Justice Sinha emphasized the urgency, saying, “Until these roads are fixed, you'll keep facing these problems.”

During the session, experts presented a report on terrible road conditions in certain areas like Dhaneli and the route to Raipur Airport. They pointed out potholes and dark streets, increasing accident risks, especially at night.

The Deputy Advocate General informed the court that Rs. 22.5 crore was approved for road repair and beautification, but election-related rules delayed the work. The experts assured the court that following its orders in public interest doesn’t violate election rules.

Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha firmly criticized officials for not following court orders and providing wrong information in their affidavits, stressing the need for immediate action. The court questioned why roads in the new capital area were better than elsewhere in the state, urging quick fixes to ease public problems.
