Ludhiana, August 5

Finally, the Municipal Corporation (MC) on Thursday removed illegal blockades in the shape of iron poles from a street of Jagjit Nagar near Shastri Nagar railway crossings. A resident had complained to the MC authorities against the blockades months ago but the MC had failed to take any action in this regard.

The resident had complained that three poles installed on Jagjeet Nagar road were obstructing traffic movement. Notably, construction work under Railway Over Bridge (ROB)/ Railway Under Bridge (RUB) project is underway on Pakhowal Road, so it was lying closed. But cars were unable to take the inner street due to the blockades. In case of emergency, even fire brigade or ambulance could not move through the road, the complainant had stated.

MS Bedi, Assistant Town Planner, said three poles had been removed from the road today after a complaint was received in this regard.
