car whenever he took the risk of passing through one of the bad roads.
Another resident, Mrs Mary Canon, said that roads in the
area had become death traps due to their bad state.

commended the state government for being sensitive to the plight of residents
of the area.
He noted that the government, by the initiative, had made
