The below mentioned Theorem of Pune roads is no more a joke.
1) Between any two potholes there is always a road.
2) If matters get worse, one pothole is always smaller than the other.
3) Never follow a car when you drive, follow just one tire of the car.
4) The depth of a pothole is inversely proportional to its visibility
5) The probability of a passing by lorry splashing mud on you is directly proportional to the importance of the occasion you are dressed up for.
6) No matter what you wear you will get wet
7) No matter what you do, you cannot avoid a pothole; avoiding one will lead you into the other.

As per one study there are 200,000 cars and 1 million two-wheelers in 146 square k.m of area.

Every one of us has experienced effects (side) of current road condition in Pune. There needs to be immediate serious thought on road repairs. But unfortunately with the visibility we have there seems to be lack of seriousness from concerned authorities. With this petition we urge to PMC authorities to give due importance to this issue.
