Digging of a nearly 30-metre stretch of road for construction of drains at Kanke in Ranchi is putting commuters to risk.
Work on the construction of roadside drains is being carried out for nearly two years, but three days back the agency hired by Ranchi Municipal Corporation dug up the middle of the 20-feet wide road connecting Vidyapatinagar with Gandhinagar in Kanke.
“We had hoped that the construction of the 1.5km long drain from Vidyapatinagar to Gandhinagar will be completed soon. However, it has been continuing for nearly two years now. The situation became worse when the agency dug up the middle of the road without taking the pain of filling it up,” said S.P. Singh (62), a retired state government employee and a resident of Vidyapatinagar.
