BHOPAL: Digging of roads for infrastructure works like the smart city development and laying of the Narmada pipeline, among others, is giving commuters a tough time on the roads of the state capital. Roads maintenance is primarily entrusted with the Public Works Department (PWD) and Capital Project Authority (CPA). Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) is responsible for the interior roads.“We have instructed the agencies to carry our repair works in coordination with others. On Monday, ahead of VVIP movement, a smart city contractor was told to fill the pit with rubble.Laying of cable for smart city development corporation’s intelligent street lighting is causing huge bumps for commuters on major intersections across the state capital. The stretches that have been affected by delay on construction will be repaired,” said BMC mayor Alok Sharma..
