Speaking about this, Asst. executive engineer, S.N.Gaikwad said, "The road works in the PCB area will continue. We had divided the road work in two parts, on some of the roads we completed the pothole filling process, and on the others we re-laid the entire road." The pothole filling process was carried out on Anderson Road, Queens Garden road, Gurudwara Road, Kahun Road, Old Parade Road, and East Street. Speaking about the process he said, "all the potholes on these roads were first cleaned out and then they were filled with the hot mix. Tacking was then carried out and the patch was then rolled over."

According to Gaikwad the money for the various repair works will be paid in stages to the contractors and as of now the money for the repair works that have been completed has been paid off.
