Approach road at Pestomsagar dug up at both ends; officials claim signboards indicating status of work were stolen!
Their agony began before the festival of Holi when the Central Agency of MCGM decided to lay new water pipelines from Somaiya junction up to Kamrajnagar. As these pipelines pass through Road No 6, the said road has deep trenches plus the entire road has uncleared debris.
In the words of Rajan Iyer, a senior citizen, “Visibility is poor in the evenings and these trenches are deep. Further, the entire road is uneven with debris lying on the road. On two occasions I have hurt my ankle while walking on this stretch. Work would have been smooth sailing had the authorities finished the job at one end before progressing to the other end.”
Another resident Prakash Bashikar stated, “There are no signboards placed at the site indicating the nature and duration of the work. In case of an emergency we do not know whom to contact as no responsible official is present at the site.” Interestingly, this locality has an organised residents forum known as Pestomsagar Residents Forum but even the office bearers of this forum state they were not intimated about the water pipe project.
