TMC pushes for renaming West Bengal to 'Bangla' during Zero Hour in Parliament
A major road collapse has occurred on Shakespeare Sarani, near the local police station, causing a large pit to form in the middle of the road. The damage began several days ago and has progressively worsened, with the hole increasing in size and depth. This ongoing issue has created a significant safety concern for both pedestrians and vehicles using the road. The collapse has left a considerable portion of the road impassable, forcing commuters to navigate around the area.
In an effort to manage the situation, the traffic police have temporarily placed iron sheets over the collapsed section, allowing vehicles to pass. This makeshift solution has been in place for the past 4 to 5 days, with the sheets being removed at night, and guardrails installed for safety. Despite this temporary measure, no permanent repairs have been made, and the situation remains unresolved.
The road collapse is particularly concerning due to the presence of multiple schools in the area, with students and staff regularly commuting along this route. The road is also heavily trafficked, leading to frequent congestion. Local residents have expressed growing frustration over the delay in addressing the issue. There has been no official statement or plan from the municipal authorities regarding the repair timeline or permanent resolution of the road’s condition. The ongoing safety hazard has raised concerns among commuters, residents, and school officials alike.
