KITCHLU NAGAR: A broken road near the main market of Kitchlu Nagar is giving residents a tough time. They claim that the municipal corporation (MC) constructed all roads in the area but did not recarpet the stretch in front of the market.
Homemaker Suman Sharma said, "This road is connected with the area's main market and there are several education institutes around it so hundreds of students take this road every day.
It makes no sense that the MC left this stretch undone when it constructed all other roads."
Condemning civic officials, businessman D S Chadha said, "They don't make any efforts for development of our area even though it is one of the posh areas of Ludhiana. Earlier, their excuse for not carrying out work was the MC election and now it's rainy season. This way or that, residents face a lot of problem. During rainy season it is risky to drive on such roads because drivers cannot judge potholes on roads."
Officials of bridges and road department said they cannot help residents during rainy season because the road cannot be constructed but once the monsoon ends they will again recarpet roads and ensure the stretch in front of Kitchlu Nagar is also repaired.
