Rain or shine, the road from Kajla in Jatrabari to Mridha Bari in Demra remains terribly battered. For years, the mud-filled and pothole-ridden road has been causing sufferings to people and affecting businesses in the area. According to locals, the authorities concerned occasionally do some patch-ups, which fail to offer a permanent solution.
