PONDA: The ongoing road construction project in Khandepar has raised concerns among the local residents, who fear that the unfinished work could turn fatal for commuters, especially during the upcoming monsoon.
According to a resident, just 12 days ago, heavy rainfall caused the mud from the under-construction areas to wash off onto the road, forming large cracks. The major work on the project of constructing the bridge remains incomplete as the start and end points of the bridge are still incomplete. Locals are worried that the situation could worsen once the monsoon arrives.
“Once the monsoon starts, the dug-up area will be filled with water, posing a huge risk for motorists and other commuters,” the resident said, urging the authorities to complete the work before the rainy season begins.
Last week, residents requested the authorities to remove the mud dumped in the middle of the road. With the upcoming school reopening and the monsoon season, there are concerns that the heavy rains could wash the mud onto the road, causing further inconvenience to commuters.
“I don’t have any complaints about the work, but I request the authorities to look into the matter and clear the land to avoid further inconvenience to commuters,” the resident added.
The unfinished road construction project and the resulting hazards have raised concern among the local community. Residents of Khandepar are asking for immediate action to ensure the safety of all who use the road. Residents hope that the authorities will consider their concerns and complete the necessary work before the onset of the monsoon.
