SAS Nagar, April 18 - During the process of widening the road from Phase 7 to 11, a pole has been left in the middle of the road above the lights of Phase 10 and 11, which is posing a threat to people's lives. In this regard, Mohali Municipal Corporation Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi has taken this issue seriously and demanded action against the responsible officials and the contractor, demanding that this pole be removed and a slip road be constructed here. He said that the divider has already been made here, whereas considering the traffic problem, it could have been built later. Social worker Balbir Singh Sohal was also present with him on this occasion.
S. Bedi said that this road has been left incomplete for the last two years. This pole causes traffic jams on the road and the risk of accidents at night has increased. He said that this pole is standing with lights and is a problem for passers-by and vehicle riders. He said that the market in this area, which has properties worth crores of rupees, is also getting affected and there is no space left for parking. New poles have not been installed here and the old ones have not been removed, due to which the entire system has deteriorated. He said that the shopkeepers of the market pay crores of rupees in property tax and various other taxes but no facilities are taken care of for them. He said that this matter is the result of the negligence of the responsible officials and if any major accident happens, then the responsibility for it will fall directly on them.
