AGARTALA, May 9 (TIWN): Agitated locals on Monday raised voice against the poor road structure from Bordowali to Nagerjala due to flyover construction work on the area. The locals further placed banners raised voice against the crippled roads and demanded compensation for the eviction carried out in their places for the expansion of road for flyover construction. They further demanded to stop the construction work of flyover until the maintenance of the road is done. Although AMC has conducted eviction for the expansion of road due to the flyover construction on the Nagerjala–Bordowali route but the eviction has equally resulted in massive garbage piled up in both the side of the road posing serious threat for the common people.

It seems like lack of proper management and system in the capital created harassment for the daily passengers, alleged the locals. Every day the passengers had to face worst trauma from Bordowali-Battala which is the important landmark in the city. Though earlier also the people had to face problem due to lack of swift traffic movement but with the beginning of the eviction it has worsen in the capital.

With the beginning of the construction work of the fly-over work at Battala, now along with the left over garbage after eviction the issue of traffic congestions came into public eye with the massive traffic jam from Bordowali-Battala road, disrupting the convenient movement of traffic on the road during office and school hours. Besides, the crane bought for the construction work of the flyover takes huge space on the road and creates problem in the smooth convenient.

To ease the everyday traffic jam at Battala junction following the construction work of the fly-over, the traffic department has listed out three different routes which the civilian can use to avoid the daily traffic congestion. Yet no effect has been observed in the traffic convenient and the day by day the traffic movement has become headache for the passerby.

Besides, the road from Nagerjala to Battala has become congested resulting the parking of vehicles at the no parking zone on the roadside causing inconvenience to the smooth traffic movement, and more seriously to vulnerable pedestrians.

It is dangerous mostly during the office hour when huge jam is being observed in more intense way. It seems that anytime any untoward incident can occur.
