Hope of road repair as civic body starts survey
The road repairs department of the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation has surveyed several areas where craters have formed in Salt Lake.
Urban development and municipal affairs minister Firhad Hakim on Tuesday said that he had received a request from Bidhannagar MLA Sujit Bose to release Rs 4 crore for repairing roads of the township. “I will look into this and we want to repair the roads before the Pujas,” Hakim said at the foundation stone laying ceremony of Rabindraangan and an old age home in EE Block.
The Telegraph had reported on August 28 how several roads had craters that spanned the entire lane. Ditches had been dug to replace water pipes in Sector III near KB KC blocks behind AMRI Hospitals but had not been levelled out.
