Chandigarh, the planned city, has been grappling with potholed roads for the last over a year and a half. Commuters have been put to harassment due to the potholed roads. The civic body manages 80 per cent of the roads in the city. All V3, V4, V5, V6, parkings and local roads are managed by them. The UT Administration manages V1 and V2 roads of the city.
