Residents and shopkeepers on both sides of Pakhowal Road, from the B-7 resort to Lalton chowk, are up in arms over the ongoing recarpeting work on nearly 6 km stretch of the road located within city limits.
They are an irked lot due to the scraping of the upper layer of the road, which has been lying thus for almost two months now.
Affected people complain that due to the scraping of top surface of the road, with loose gravel and sand all around, not only vehicular traffic is frequently disrupted, but those residing and carrying on business on both sides of the road also have to face pollution of the flying dust particles, with a high risk of respiratory diseases.
