Residents of Mayur Vihar Phase‑3 report that Smriti Marg‑1 has become severely damaged, prompting calls for urgent repairs.
Mayur Vihar Phase‑3, a residential locality in East Delhi, is facing a growing problem as Smriti Marg‑1 has fallen into a state of disrepair. Local commuters and pedestrians have observed large potholes, deep cracks and uneven surfaces along the stretch, making daily travel hazardous.
The deteriorated road has slowed traffic flow, forced drivers to take detours, and raised safety concerns for school‑going children and senior citizens who use the lane regularly. Motorists report frequent vehicle jolts and occasional damage to suspensions due to the uneven pavement.
The Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) has been approached by resident welfare associations seeking immediate remedial action. While officials have not issued a detailed timeline, they acknowledged the issue and said a site inspection would be scheduled to assess repair needs.
Residents have urged the civic body to prioritize the repair work, citing the road’s importance as a connector to nearby markets, schools and public transport hubs. They fear that continued neglect could exacerbate traffic congestion in the broader Mayur Vihar area.
The incident reflects wider infrastructure challenges in rapidly expanding Delhi neighborhoods, where aging roads often struggle to keep pace with increasing vehicle density.
