Hazaribag's Korra Chowk needs urgent repairs

02 Nov 2012 Editorial Team

In Jharkhand's Hazaribag, Korra Chowk junction of NH-33 and NH-100 is in a very bad condition without black tapping and turned a hazard to the residents in the nearby areas. Due to heavy traffic at the junction dust and pollution is being generated to bother the nearby residents.

The residents living near the junction said that they could hardly open windows and doors of their houses because of the dust and pollution.

Hundreds of residents of the town blocked Korra Chowk near St Columbas College for over three hours on October 29 to press the demand for immediate repair of the road.

The protester alleged that a stretch of less than a kilometer could not be completed because of utter negligence of the road construction department and contractors. Professional like doctors, advocates and professors who reside in the area alleged that after completing the earth work of the road, the contractor disappeared about a year ago without completing the black-topping.

With that the people in the area have been forced to face inconvenience. Police sources said traffic on this section remained paralysed for more than three hours causing great inconvenience to the public.
