Motorists fall, get injured on dug-up Narayanapura ward road
Civic authorities dug up the concrete road in Kamadhenu Layout in A Narayanapura ward 10 days ago, but failed to close it, residents allege.
As a result, motorists and walkers are falling into the open pits and are injuring themselves, residents said.
The BBMP drills the road’s concrete surface to fix water connection problems, said Mariamma Oommen, a resident of Udayanagar in the area. The work is noisy and kicks up dust, harming the environment. After each repair work, the road rises in height to the level of the house.
On July 7, the authorities drilled a pit 100 ft high and two or three ft in width. The drilling work went on for three days.
