In an unusual response to the crisis, a home guard jawan, along with two traffic policemen, has been observed actively engaged in makeshift repair efforts. The trio was seen attempting to fill in the numerous potholes using shovels, in a bid to alleviate the hazardous conditions.

Particularly problematic is Hospital Road, which has become notorious for its dangerous conditions. A substantial pothole resembling a small pond has formed in the center of the road, contributing to both frequent accidents and traffic delays. 

In an effort to address the immediate risks, two traffic police officers and a home guard jawan were recently spotted on the highway, working manually with shovels to mitigate the dangers posed by the deep potholes.
