Raipur City does not have even a single plane & smooth road. Its all roads are in broken condition and full of path holes. People are free to dig the roads to erect pandals for performing religious function, for political meetings, to perform marriages and other social functions and so on & so forth. There is no ban on performing 'holika dahan' on the metal roads totally destroying it. Roads are cut & dug to lay pipe lines & cables but never properly filled up. People are free to erect speed breakers in front of their houses and any where else to meet their ego. One can just imagine the fate of those who drive a two wheeler or a four wheeler on the roads full of path holes and speed breakers. There is no doubt that Raipur would be on the top of the national list of joint related & bone related diseases. Moreover, the city roads are full of stray domestic animals as if its a grazing field.
After living in Raipur one has to change his opinion that he is in the 21st century. Our corporation people (employees & elected representatives) are highly corrupted and are busy & happy in making their pockets heavier as more than half of the corporation's fat annual budget is eaten up by them. Citizens are free at their will and instances of defecating & urinating in open on the road side & walls are common. Before walking on the city roads one has to find out a space without spitting to step in. The city of Raipur is in a very very poor state of affairs and unlike a state capital city and will find its place at the last of the list of State Capital Cities of India.
When the roads of the city are in such a bad condition, how one can expect from the most corrupt organisation of the city called Municipal Corporation to keep these broken, full of path holes and cow dung clean! The city roads are very dirty and whenever cleaned, that is only to do the formalities. The drains are choked with full of garbage therin.
