On several major roads of the city, like Sigra-Maldahiya road, Pandeypur-Bhakti Nagar Colony road, Mehmoorganj-Sigra road, Rathyatra- Mehmoorganj Road, Pandeypur-Sarnath road, Sundarpur Newada, Padao-Chowkaghat, Lehertara-Manduadih road, potholes have been leveled only with boulders.

In the absence of any binding material, the boulders get scattered on the roads after some time causing trouble to commuters. Many of these roads are left with only a narrow commutable stretch with pebbles and gravels left on rest of the roads.
