Bidhannagar roads are a nightmare, accidents waiting to happen

By A Staff Reporter 

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee is trying hard to improve infrastructure.

Is it that her beauracrats and political colleagues in responsible position letting her down?

 The condition of roads in Bidhannagar and New Town are a clear pointer that officials and political leaders in Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation are “ineffective and unable to carry out the directives of the chief minister.”

Mamata recently made it clear that roads and infrastructure development are a priority for her. But right in her backyard, adjoining Kolkata, the roads speak for themselves.

 Local residents allege that the “pathetic, dug up potholed roads have been in this condition for the last several months.”

They complained that after few protests, Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation did some patchwork but the surface gave away opening up holes on the road within two weeks.

A large number of VVIPs reside in Bidhannagar but roads continue to be in disastrous condition and go without repair work for months.

Locals alleged that they had even complained to councillors, Mayor, MLA and MP but to no avail.
