Swargate Bus Depot falls back into disrepair

Potholes & drainage failures trigger outrage; passengers raise safety concerns

- Ankit Shukla

Six months ago, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) claimed it had resolved Swargate Bus Depot's waterlogging, potholes and drainage issues by constructing a new asphalt road. However, the situation has reverted and has worsened.

The roads are riddled with multiple water-filled potholes, posing a significant risk to buses and passengers. The repaired drainage system is in a deplorable state with broken covers. Water from the washrooms is overflowing onto the premises, causing a foul odour and creating an unhygienic environment.
