The recently refurbished walking track near Ambazari Lake has started to break down after just a few spells of rain, making it difficult for citizens to use. According to a local daily report, the early damage raises questions about the quality of work done by the contractor during the repairs.
Despite efforts by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation over the past two years, the condition of Ambazari Lake and its garden has worsened and now appears beyond repair. The lake is completely covered with water hyacinth, and there is no visible sign of garden maintenance. Most of the green gym equipment and the children’s play area are broken and in urgent need of repair or replacement.
The walking track near Ambazari Lake was refurbished a few months ago using ‘murum’ and other materials. However, regular walkers have raised concerns about the quality of the work. With the very first spell of monsoon rains, the track has already started to crumble, leaving it damaged and difficult to use.
“The surface of the track was left uneven, indicating that the road roller was not used properly. Also, an insufficient quantity of murum was used,” said Chetan Malviya, a daily walker.
Adding to the concern, there is no display board at the site mentioning the contractor’s name, the supervising authority, or the cost of the refurbishment, leaving citizens with no way to raise objections or seek accountability.
