Girish Ajmani sent me a letter regarding the poor condition of roads in Kirti Nagar. He writes, “This is my first letter to you and would like to inform you regarding bad condition of roads in Kirti Nagar. I am a resident of Kirti Nagar and would like to bring your attention towards a Guru Ram Dass Marg, which is the main road of Kirti Nagar. This road connects Kirti Nagar to Maya Puri chowk and passes through the timber market and industrial area of Kirti Nagar.

“There’s a heavy flow of traffic on this road but for the last three months, the road has not been repaired after deep sewer work took place here. I am surprised that no MCD official or local councillor or other concerned authority has come forward to repair this road stretch between Saluja Cycle Stores to Bengal Sweet Corner. The total area that requires to be repaired is just 500 metres but none is bothered about the road condition.

“This is causing a lot of problem to the local residents and commuters. During daytime one can see the area engulfed in a cloud of dust and also huge traffic jams. Please do something about it.”

That’s the problem in Delhi. These civic agencies are in a mess. Take the case of NH 1 (GT Karnal Road). The contractor had run in the middle after leaving the whole work of widening of NH 1. The government and nodal agencies, which undertake any kind of civil work where roads are involved in Delhi should ensure that these contractors finish their jobs and not leave in the middle.

Meanwhile, I received a feedback from Joint CP (Traffic) Qamar Ahmed regrading the problems faced by Pamposh Enclave residents over crossing the outer Ring Road since traffic here is signal free. He writes, “I appreciate the problem raised by you. Installation of signal immediately after the flyover is not desirable. We have submitted a proposal to PWD for construction of a Foot Over Bridge. Request - pursue with PWD also. We are also following it up.” It’s time for the Pamposh Enclave residents now to bang the doors of PWD and expedite the process.
