Siliguri, 10th June: Roads in the Fulbari Gathmabari area are lying in a pitiful condition for the past few months. Allegedly, the construction work was stopped midway due to the COVID-19 lockdown imposed across the country.
The locals complained of facing a lot of difficulties as bad roads coupled with traffic congestion have aggravated the problem of dust pollution in the area. They alleged that despite reporting the issue to the administration several times, no solution was provided. Besides, people are also enduring respiratory difficulties due to the increased amount of dust pollution.
Agitated by the situation, the locals staged a roadblock in the National Highway demanding an immediate solution. Upon receiving the news, the NJP police reached the spot shortly after and brought the situation under control.
