Summary:
Besides holding up traffic, the stretch had also become accident-prone. “We will lay the 50-metre stretch with mastic asphalt and connect it to the existing two-lane traffic, thus making it a four-lane thoroughfare. Finally, mayor-in-council member Ratan De came up with a solution, which was readily accepted by the house owners. Driving through the area will be a lot safer now,” Sinha said. We hope to find a solution to traffic congestion at Shahidnagar area after completing the construction work,” the KMC official said.Local residents are happy over the civic body’s decision to start the road-widening project..
