Calcutta: Heavy rain has destroyed several road sections salt lakeThe Bidhannagar traffic police have repeatedly requested the city authorities to Road repair Working for the last six months but without success.
After no major repairs have been carried out for years, sections that are already damaged and in need of repair are deteriorating even further due to the regular rain, as the city administration has been unable to carry out comprehensive road repairs or patch work.
With the development of roads at the access point of Salt Lake from the EM Bypass crater and potholes on sections of intersections and avenues. Traffic police have great difficulty in regulating traffic as vehicles slow down on the damaged sections.
“The city authorities have been informed several times in the past few months about the poor condition of the roads. In some places, the road level has become uneven. Due to the crater-like sections, vehicles are slowing down as traffic pressure increases, especially during office hours,” the police said.
Large craters are forming at several locations in Sector III, towards the eastern drainage canal and adjacent areas. There are road subsidences at some locations, particularly where patching work was previously carried out.
BMC officials said that tenders will be floated and repair work will be carried out as per availability of funds, which will have to be approved by the state government. “All 41 wards of BMC, spread across Salt Lake and Rajarhat Gopalpur, will be covered. However, we need at least a week’s dry time to carry out the repair work at places where the earlier repair work has worn out,” said an official of BMC’s road department.
Residents are disappointed with the progressive deterioration of roads in the municipality. “The condition of many stretches of roads has deteriorated without any repairs. It is extremely risky for motorists, especially motorcyclists who can lose control if they do not drive very carefully,” said Kawshik Dutta, a resident of Salt Lake BD block who rides a motorcycle.
