One year on, road work remains incomplete due to official apathy

It’s more than one and a half year, the residents of Manchegowdana Koppal, near Vijayanagara Water Tank, vendors of the area and motorists face hardship due to air pollution as a result of incomplete road works.

The road that was dug up for laying of water pipeline from Ring Road via Abhishek Circle, remain neglected. The residents and the motorists are facing the brunt of rising air pollution and many have developed health issues.

The residents are forced to cover their face with masks not because of Covid-19, but due to dust. The aged citizens and the children of the area complain about health issues such as asthma.
