When RUIDP was given the task of constructing the sewage system in Mount Abu, the condition of the city's road network, which had been declining for some time, became much worse. The incompetence of the government and the commercial telecom sector, which has resulted in haphazard road excavations that seriously jeopardise Abu's fragile ecology, has made the problem worse. The condition of their roadways, which seem to be in a continual state of chaos, appalled residents of Abu, despite ambitions to turn the city into a classy one.

The excavation of all the city's roads has left behind big holes, craters, and loose gravel that is especially dangerous for two-wheelers. the constant rock blasting interrupts everyday life and frequently results in traffic congestion, particularly on weekends when the city draws a sizable number of tourists.

When worried locals voice their displeasure about the frequent digging of their streets, they are told that it's a necessary component of a smart city initiative. A lot of locals doubtfully wonder if a new village is being built, which calls into question the effectiveness of the smart city project.

Potholes and patches abound on the roadways, making daily living difficult for locals like traversing a battlefield. Even if the Abu government is committed to creating a "SMART CITY," the roads are in poor shape because of the influence of state and private contractors, which changes less likely. There are still questions regarding these projects' viability and profitability, and locals worry that they could end up being ghost projects. The previously bright silver line in the distance now seems blemished, casting doubt on the durability and significance of the city's development projects.
