Schoolchildren in the Sonia Vihar area of Delhi are facing a difficult daily commute due to waterlogging, mud, and damaged stretches on the Main 25-Foot Road and connecting Shani Bazar Road. These roads serve students of three schools — two private and one government — and have been in poor condition for several years, according to residents.

A resident, Tinku Sharma, described the situation as a "severe civic infrastructure failure year after year." A day before the report, some students who call themselves Gen Alpha joined residents in protesting the broken and filthy condition of the road.

For parents, the poor state of the roads has become part of their children's daily routine. One parent, Anj, said, "Every second day, my kids come to school in slippers because their shoes get muddy." The full article was cut off, but the reported details indicate ongoing local concern about civic maintenance in the area.
