A few months ago, I was going to the 'Logewala' post located on the Indo-Pak border with the family. There were few vehicles on either side of the post 140 km route and the road was like an airport runway - completely comfortable and the car did not have the slightest jolt during the journey. My family members started making reels, this is the passion of today's youth and it reminded me of the movies of the 70s, where the camera did not move at all while filming the hero-heroine, while the good roads rarely looked like butter. But the first sentence that came out of the mouth of my family members while walking was that what a beautiful road it is, it did not say how perfect a road it is. I remembered this family conversation when I learned that this week in Maharashtra, several industrialists from Nashik have complained that they are being harmed due to pothole-laden roads in the industrial area. They claim that the consignments are not arriving on time and the final product is getting damaged, while the transporters are also not showing keenness in taking the consignments during the peak evening hours as the traffic creeps in the evening due to potholes. Nashik supplies finished products of electrical, electronic, engineering and pharma across the country, while more than 100 exporters ship abroad from Mumbai. This issue is not limited to just one city, it is the condition of roads on many highways. As goods are getting badly damaged due to roads, some of these exporters have temporarily hired professionals near the ports. Roads can never be perfect but still these human activities Reason has always been a lifeline. Ask any father from a small village in the country who is thinking of marrying a daughter. His checklist will also include whether the road connecting the groom's village to the nearest taluka headquarter is good, where there are health facilities? That's because the father feels that when the daughter has some medical need and if the road is good, she will be able to go to the nearest hospital quickly. You must have seen the videos running frequently on WhatsApp University, how four people tying a sheet in two bamboos take a pregnant woman to the hospital in labor pain. Good roads for those villagers as if God had sent this discovery of man. Good roads allow them to sell crops at good prices in urban areas without making fool of touts. It is equally important for them to be connected to the roads (read technology and mobile phones) as well as to the roads. Apart from this, they also fill the reference of security in their mind. Remember the film Sholay where Basanti's Ghoda Dhanno is unable to save his 'mistress' from Gabbar Singh's henchmen due to a bad road, in the film Basanti's character was played by Hema Malini. This is the reality of many places even today. There is no doubt that as a nation, we should build good roads everywhere. Huh. But one cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that Result of nexus of corrupt contractors-agencies for this sector is suffering. The weather is making things worse from above, where the built roads are getting cleared by incessant rains. The recent example is of Rajasthan, where rains in Rajasthan have damaged most of the roads, breaking the record of last 53 years. The trick is that when you try to improve everyday, it slowly turns into beautiful things. It may not be called perfect but unique Will be called necessary.
