Dug-up roads create chaos for commuters in city
Patna: The ongoing road repairs and excavation work for various development and pipeline projects in several parts of the city have turned into a daily ordeal for commuters. Incomplete work has left behind open trenches and gravel patches, creating hazardous conditions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Intermittent rainfall has further exacerbated the situation, transforming these stretches into waterlogged, muddy pools. Pedestrians are forced to wade through flooded walkways while motorists navigate slushy roads at the risk of accidents. Despite repeated complaints from residents, contractors have failed to meet project deadlines. Numerous areas, including Ashok Rajpath, Ashiana-Digha Road, Boring Road, Jamal Road, S P Verma Road, Lohanipur, Polson Road, S K Puri, Nageshwar Colony, Rajendra Nagar, Rajeev Nagar and Bazaar Samiti, remain riddled with potholes, trenches and incomplete repairs. Residents have expressed frustration over the inadequate repairs and the dangerous debris left scattered, which they say poses a serious threat to public safety. The road construction department and other govt agencies had instructed engineers to complete work and ensure motorable roads by June 5. However, even after the deadline passed, many roads remain in a state of disrepair. Kaushal Kumar, a resident of Mahavir Colony, described the stretch near his home as treacherous. "The situation became miserable even with light drizzle. The potholes and trenches were completely submerged, making it difficult to identify danger spots. It is especially risky for commuters unfamiliar with the area," he said. Anshu Sinha said part of a drain along the road in Rajeev Nagar caved in on Saturday night. "The road was once in good condition, but since work began under the Namami Gange project, it has deteriorated. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During rain, the drain overflows. If precautions are not taken, this drain and road could become fatal for locals," he said. Ashok Kumar, a resident of Rukunpura, said GAIL had dug a pit in front of his house in Navnit Colony to connect nearby homes to the gas network. "Because of this, my drainage pipeline was damaged, leading to waterlogging in the pit," he said. However, Patna mayor Sita Sahu clarified that most roads had been dug up by agencies working under BUIDCO as part of the Namami Gange project and other schemes. "The Patna Municipal Corporation issued a no-objection certificate along with a deadline, but the agencies failed to complete the projects on time," she said. BUIDCO officials claimed that once the work was completed, the roads were handed over to the road construction department for repair. "We sent the list of all damaged roads in three to four phases. For incomplete projects, agencies are obligated to finish the work, they cannot abandon it," an official said. Animesh Kumar Parashar, commissioner of Patna Municipal Corporation and managing director of BUIDCO, said a list of 42 damaged roads had been handed over to the road construction department. "The agencies have been instructed to ensure the roads are made motorable," he added. Road construction department minister Nitin Nabin said the department had repaired most of the roads under its purview. "However, some roads fall under the jurisdiction of PMC and other government bodies," he added.

Complete drainage projects ahead of monsoon, says DM
Patna: Patna DM Thiyagarajan SM conducted an inspection of key infrastructure projects on Saturday, focusing on drainage and roadworks being carried out under schemes announced during CM Nitish Kumar's Pragati Yatra on Feb 21. He reviewed work on the paving of drains in Rajiv Nagar and Anandpuri, construction of roads over them and the creation of a four-lane road with an underground drain along the serpentine drain. The DM asked the officials concerned and engineers to speed up implementation, aligning with the CM's directives. According to the DM, the Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation (BUIDCO) is responsible for paving the Rajiv Nagar drain and constructing a road above it, at a projected cost of Rs 181 crore. The project includes the development of the Kurji drain, which will run from Rajiv Nagar DPS to Shakuntala Market and via Atal Path to Kurji within the Patna Municipal Corporation area. "This will ease travel for residents of Rajiv Nagar, Mahesh Nagar, Indrapuri, Patel Nagar and surrounding areas while helping to alleviate traffic congestion," he said. Another project, also assigned to BUIDCO, involves paving and building a road over the Anandpuri drain with an estimated budget of Rs 91 crore. Combined, the two schemes are expected to benefit nearly four lakh residents directly. The DM added that the road construction department will link the under-construction four-lane road on the Mandiri drain to J P Ganga Path at a cost of Rs 52 crore. "This connection will provide direct access between Nehru Path and JP Ganga Path, and make it easier to reach PMCH and AIIMS," he added. The Bihar State Road Development Corporation (BSRDC) is working on a Rs 197-crore project to build a four-lane road with an underground drain along the serpentine drain, from Patel Golamber to both ends of Rajdhani Vatika and then to Atal Path. The DM stressed the importance of maintaining an uninterrupted water flow in all drains. He asked the officials to ensure they are kept clear of encroachments and regularly cleaned and desilted, to prevent flooding during the upcoming monsoon. He reminded that the CM had announced 32 development projects totalling Rs 10,871 crore for Patna district during the Feb yatra. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

RCD set to repair damaged city roads
Patna: Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation (BUIDCO) has handed over three major roads in Patna to the road construction department (RCD) for urgent repair works. The roads, spanning 1,199 metres, are located in the Digha and Kankarbagh zones where sewerage network works have recently been completed. BUIDCO managing director Animesh Kumar Parashar has asked agencies to ensure roads are restored immediately following completion of infrastructure work to avoid inconvenience to the public during the upcoming monsoon season. "The three roads assigned to the RCD for repair include Sahdeo Mahto Marg in Digha Zone-1, Ghurdaur Road in Digha Zone-2 and the stretch from Jaleshwar Temple to Jogipur Colony in Kankarbagh Zone," said an RCD official. Earlier, a list of 39 additional roads was handed over to the department for restoration. These include the stretch from Daroga Rai Path to Veer Chand Patel Path in Digha Zone 1, Digha-Ashiana Road to Shastri Nagar in Digha Zone 2 and from Hanuman Nagar to Malahi Pakri in Kankarbagh zone. Ranjeet Rai, a resident of Ghurdaur Road, said locals face regular difficulties crossing the Ashiana-Digha Road.

"The situation gets worse when it rains, as the road becomes slippery due to the damaged surface," he added. While the RCD is responsible for restoring its own roads, the repair of roads under the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) is carried out by BUIDCO's appointed agency. Road construction minister Nitin Nabin had recently directed that all damaged roads be repaired by May 30 without fail. He has also instructed agencies to ensure all open manholes at construction sites are securely covered and all potholes are filled without delay.
