Road along Ludhiana's Buddha Nullah in a shambles

Ludhiana, June 25

The hot mix plant may remain shut during the rainy season but the potholes on several roads have not been repaired. Big potholes on one such road along the Buddha Nullah near an underpass and the Peeru Banda area are crying for attention but the MC is yet to do the needful.

Residents want that the potholes on the road must be repaired before the rains so that the commuters do not face inconveniences.

A resident of Chandar Nagar, Keemti Rawan, has raised questions as to why the potholes have not been repaired on the stretch along the Buddha Nullah. He said, “Big potholes have appeared at different points on the road near Peeru Banda and other areas but the MC is yet to repair them. Moreover, safety walls are missing along the Buddha Nullah.”

“Two-wheelers can lose balance while passing over the big potholes. The potholes must be repaired without any further delay for the safety of commuters,” he added.

Councillor Surinder Atwal said he has asked the officials to patch up the potholes at the earliest. He said the tenders for re-carpeting work of the road will be floated soon.

Despite repeated attempts, Superintending Engineer Teerath Bansal could not be contacted for comments.
