People of 10 mouzas to take to streets

| | BHUBANESWAR | in Bhubaneswar

Residents of 10 mouzas, including VSS Nagar, Chakeisiani, Bhotapada and Asutosh, would take to the streets if the underpass at Saheed Nagar is not made motorable soon.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting held under chairmanship Er Krushna Chandra Sahu. While VSS Navar Unnayan Parishada Dillip Dashsharma called for a protest, Ward-5 Corporator Nirmal Rout and Ward-11 Corporator’s representative Ajay Jena assured to support any such move. 

The senior residents who attended the meeting alleged that the concerned authorities are not serious to make the underpass functional for which people belonging to 10 mouzars are facing problems to go to interior parts of the city. Even as four years have passed since the Vani Vihar-Acharya Vihar over-bridge opened, the underpass has not been made functional, they alleged.

Among others, Parishad VP Er Shiba Prasad Mishra, Durga Puja Committee VP Nimain Das, general secretary Shital Chandra Mohanty, Toshali Workers’ Club secretary Er Suryamani Das, Chakeisiani Senior Citizens Committee secretary Subash Chandra Samal, Bhotapada Senior Citizens Committee’s Hemant Kumar Ray were present.
