Sir: The maintenance of roads is awful in Thar. All roads leading to Thar are in bad shape. Thousands of accidents have occurred owing to the dilapidated conditions of roads, but in spite of having four MNAs and ten MPAs in the division of Mirpur Khas, the condition of roads there has gone from bad to worse. I would appeal to the concerned authorities to take action regarding development of roads in this important area. Machinery used for extraction and development of Thar Coal is taken along this route that is 75 KM long, and unless it is smooth and drivable, speedy work on Thar project is not viable.
