Kolkata Diary: Roads to get new look before Durga Puja

Kolkata roads to get new look before Durga Puja
Damaged roads in Kolkata will get a coat of patchwork before Durga Puja and for that, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation has asked all agencies to complete the work by October 15, a civic body official said. Repairing roads before Durga Puja is an annual affair, but it will be for the first time so many roads will be repaired in the city because no work could be carried out before the monsoon due to the Covid-19 lockdown. The patchwork will provide a temporary cover to craters and potholes. Such repairs do not last beyond a few months or even less if it rains, said civic body engineers.
