- The Samruddhi Mahamarg, a 710-km expressway built at a cost of Rs 61,000 crore, was opened to the public about three and a half years ago.
- Vehicles travel at high speed on the expressway itself.
- Villages located along the expressway are still connected by access roads full of potholes.
- Residents of these villages say travelling to their villages still means going through potholes despite the highway's construction.
- The gap highlights that the benefits of the expensive expressway have not reached the local roads of nearby communities.
What to watch next
- Whether authorities repair or upgrade the local access roads to villages along the expressway
- Any response from the highway authorities or state government to residents' complaints
