The ongoing work of laying sewage pipelines at Haridwar road has been causing huge inconvenience to the commuters. Apart from the long bumper to bumper traffic jams on the road, the dirt and dust is causing inconvenience to the public.
Additionally, pouring of water on dug roads for the laying sewage pipelines on excavated roads has increased the residents’ plight several times as it has become extremely difficult for the commuters to travel.
Besides, the muddy conditions on the roads and lessening of the width of the roads also lead to traffic jams. The ongoing work of laying sewage lines has become a bane for the commuters. The long traffic jams could be easily noticeable at Haridwar road near Rispana bridge and Haridwar by-pass road since the traffic coming from Rispana bridge has been diverted towards ISBT.
Besides, non-deployment of traffic personnel has made the situation worse. The muddy roads have been inviting accidents with two-wheeler riders left with no other option but to demount to cover the area. After expressing concern over the dirt and dust
on Haridwar road, one of the department sources who wished anonymity told The Pioneer that stern instructions are regularly issued to nodal agencies to complete the work of laying the sewage line in the given time frame.
“Excessive vehicular flow of traffic on the road has been hampering our efforts for laying the sewage line,” he said, adding that work of laying sewage line would be completed in the given time frame. He said that since the work of laying sewage pipelines has almost completed, the work of repairing dug roads would be started very soon.
He further cleared that strict departmental action would be surely taken against those officials, if found guilty of lethargic approach while repairing the roads.
