why roads in India requires regular repairs?

Answer 1

WHILE MAKING THE ROAD NOBODY CARES. LOW STANDARD MATERIALS USED BY THE CONTRACTORS AFTER PAYING COMMISSION TO OUR ENGINEERS.

Answer 2

Actually they are supposed to lay the roads in a scientific manner but then I guess they don't have enough manpower to do that. This is India! They just lay the roads in an unscientific way temporarily. And then there is the Indian weather that adds to the poor quality of roads... :-(
Oh...and also the regular repairs are also poor. In some places you can find the road a little higher than the adjoining flat surfaces..thats coz they are so unscientific!

Answer 3

The laying of the roads in India is gven to contractors and not by the staff of the Municipality or P.W.D. (State or Central).
And no review of the work done subsequently..Consequently ere long road becomes repairable.The contractor makes money and the staff also get a share in it.
The contractor should not be paid anything if the road becomes repairable within months after laying down
or not according to specification.

Answer 4

India has a heavy monsoon season. Most of the roads do not have a side drainage system so water flows over the road . With heavy trucks moving over the road is easily eroded .
Most of the deccan trap is brittle lava formation. The road base craks underneath when heavy vehicles move over it.
In the plains water overflows the road when ever there is heavy rain and soil gets washed off leaving the roa hanging with little or no support
