Civic work with no signage a bother
The Calcutta Municipal Corporation has been repairing roads and laying water pipelines across the city this winter but the infrastructure development has left residents irked instead. Reason: no signage in most places to warn commuters that the road is closed.
Most of the dug-up stretches do not even have fencing or reflector tapes around them, making it almost impossible for motorists to spot ditches at night.
The absence of signage has left even residents of the neighbourhood clueless about which road to take, leave alone visitors.
A resident of Dover Lane cited an example of water supply work near his home. A stretch of Dover Lane running perpendicular to Nandi Street has been dug up for laying water pipelines.
