Howrah: More than 3,50,000 residents may finally hope for a better quality of commute as around 76 roads in Bally, Belur and Liluah are set to be reconstructed before the elections at a cost of around Rs 28 crore.
The administrator of Bally Municipality announced that the work would start from the first week of Feb under the state govt's Pathashree project. About 4.3 km of roads will be redeveloped, fully funded by the state govt. Among the 76 roads, 33 major roads will undergo patchwork with bitumen, 40 smaller roads will be constructed with concrete, and three roads in commercial areas will be built with paver blocks.
Rana Chattopadhyay, the chief administrator of Bally Municipality and MLA of Bally, said work orders for the construction and reconstruction had already been issued.
Residents of Bally, Belur and Liluah have for long been demanding repairs and improvements of roads, which have been riddled with crater-like potholes for a long time. The poor condition of the roads led to multiple accidents. There are 10 large housing complexes, several high-rise buildings, two shopping malls, schools, an engineering college and the Belur Math in the area.
