Construction debris piles up in Aayakar Nagar colonies

05 Sep 2023 CW Team

The last five days have proven to be an ordeal for Amarchand Dhakar, a local transporter, who has been grappling with the inability to park his matador on the ground floor of his residence. Instead, he has been forced to park it over a kilometre away from his home. His neighbour, Alok Agarwal, shares a similar predicament. Until Friday, he had to accompany his daughter for a kilometre to the main road adjacent to their colony as the school bus couldn't enter the area.

A crisis affecting approximately 150 to 160 families has gripped several colonies in Aayakar Nagar, Sanganer, in recent days. The interior roads of these colonies have become obstructed by piles of road construction materials, causing widespread inconvenience.

These heaps of construction materials, which appear to be layers of road pavement removed by civic authorities for refurbishment, have been haphazardly dumped, blocking the main gates of numerous buildings and covering extensive portions of roads.

Expressing their frustration, Pradeep Sharma, a local pathology owner, exclaimed, "This is ridiculous. One evening, these mounds of construction materials appeared out of nowhere. They seem to be discarded road layers. We're perplexed as to why these materials have been piled up and dumped in our locality."

In response to this situation, many residents have resorted to walking to their workplaces, highlighting the extent of the inconvenience caused by this unexplained accumulation of construction materials in their neighbourhood.
