Showers of inconvenience and misery

Ludhiana | Monday | 19th August, 2019

Summary:

A portion of service road of the GT Road near Bhattian village in front of Green Land Hotel caved in, due to which the movement of traffic was stopped. Underpasses flooded in Sahnewal, service lane users sufferCommuters were at the receiving end as regular downpours have inundated the underpasses constructed by the National Highways Authority of India. Despite commuters reminding the private contractor deployed to keep the six-lane as well as service lanes along the NH user-worthy, the former, as usual, has failed to act. Resultantly, the service lanes now seem to be permanently fixed with deep potholes. The preparedness on the part of the authorities can well be imagined with drains finding no outlet due to blockage and rainwater stranded under the passes and on service lanes..
