Raigad Schoolgirls’ Viral Pothole Video Forces Swift Action, Karjat Road Repairs Begin Overnight | Video

Mumbai: Three schoolgirls from Maharashtra's Raigad district captured a video of their troubled road to school, unaware of the widespread reaction it would receive.

Thorve, representing the ruling Shiv Sena, explained that part of the road had been washed away due to heavy rain, but assured that the road would be restored once the monsoon ended.
