Native residents allege that regardless of elevating the difficulty with MC commissioner and the involved govt engineer, no instant steps had been taken to cease the digging on Friday afternoon. “These trenches are left open without proper barricading, making the roads unsafe. Even the telecom company does not have any permission and I informed the officials in the afternoon, but the work continued unchecked and it got stopped later in the evening when they dug the holes,” he mentioned.

A resident Santok Singh, met with an accident on account of these pits. “I was driving back home when my car suddenly fell into the trench. The impact was so strong that my tyre burst. If this can happen to a car, imagine the risk for two-wheelers,” he mentioned.

Commuters have demanded instant motion towards the telecom firm and correct restoration of the roads.

Sanjay Kanwar, MC superintending engineer mentioned, “I directed the officials to go and get the work stopped and I will put a fine on the private company as they have damaged the road.”
