Pedestrian bridges along ROB cry for civic body’s attention

The two pedestrian bridges that are part of the Lakkar Bridge (railway overbridge) have been crying for attention. One of the pedestrian bridges near the MC’s night shelter on Clock Tower-Society Cinema Road is in a dilapidated condition for a long time as it remains flooded with waste.

As a result of the neglect, pedestrians are left with no other option but to risk their lives by crossing the railway tracks in a wrong manner. Residents are now urging the civic body to hold officials accountable for their responsibilities and ensure routine cleaning of the pedestrian bridges along Lakkar Bridge. Both bridges were constructed for the safety of pedestrians and it is imperative that they are maintained properly.
