Delayed road repairs keep motorists dodging potholes in Mohali

A 27-year-old factory worker was killed on July 14, 2026, after his motorcycle skidded into a rainwater-filled pothole in the Phase 8 Industrial Area.

An HT survey identified 167 potholes on Airport Road; damaged roads also dot Phases 2, 3B2, 7, 8, the Industrial Area, and village roads within expanded MC limits.

GMADA is responsible for Airport Road and other major stretches; MC handles internal sector and village roads.

Recarpeting of Airport Road Phase 2 (8.8 km) is delayed due to roundabout construction; a ₹35-crore tender is to be floated soon.

Cancellation of a ₹912-crore road maintenance tender delayed recarpeting, worsening road conditions during monsoon.
