One road dug up four times in a year for drains, pipelines, and chambers — yet remains unfinished; locals demand action against officials and contractors.
Residents of Narendra Nagar have reached their breaking point. In the past year alone, a single road in Dobinagar Housing Society has been dug up four times — first for a drainage line, then for a pipeline, then for chambers, and now for reasons no one seems to know. The result: a road that looks more like a battlefield than a residential street.
Piles of rubble, gravel, and dust have made daily movement a nightmare. “Every day someone slips or skids. This isn’t development — it’s destruction,” said a local resident. With neither blacktopping nor cementing done, the road has turned into a dust bowl where two-wheelers topple and pedestrians trip almost daily.
Citizens allege that departments begin digging in haste but take months to restore the surface, leaving behind dangerous, uneven terrain. “They keep digging the same road again and again while ignoring basic repair,” another resident fumed.
Locals are now demanding criminal action against the officials, contractors, and representatives responsible for abandoning the work mid-way.
“If they can’t complete one road in a year, what hope is there for the rest of the city?” a resident asked.
For Narendra Nagar’s residents, development has become a cruel joke — where roads are dug overnight, but accountability never surfaces.
