We need one detail

We could not identify which authority maintains this road. Tell us whether it is a state highway/main district road, a village road, a city street or a national highway.

We cannot decide responsibility from this wording alone.

Start here

Identify the road type first — the map, a nearby signboard or your local ward/panchayat office will tell you.

Who is responsible

  • We cannot decide responsibility from this wording alone.

Responsibility for roads changes with road classification, so we do not guess. Once you know the road type, choose the matching route.

If that does not work

  1. 1

    Ask your local ward office or Gram Panchayat

  2. 2

    Verify the road on the state road map
