Puri, 12/10: The condition of the PWD-maintained road stretching from Darjipokhari square to Jhadeswari squre—constructed during the world famous Rath Yatra—has become deplorable in less than three months. Substandard construction is cited as the reason for the road becoming hazardous; consequently, auto-rickshaws are overturning, and scooter riders are frequently meeting with accidents and sustaining injuries.

Meanwhile, ahead of the scheduled visit to Puri tomorrow by the Chief Minister and senior BJP leaders, PWD officials were observed carrying out road repairs—specifically laying bitumen—in the dead of night.

Departmental staff were seen executing the work at night in the presence of the PWD Junior Engineer (JE). Are hasty repairs being carried out without verifying the quality of the road? Is this being done to shield the contractor or to appease higher-ranking officials? Amidst these public questions, there are growing demands for a quality check of the road and for holding the responsible officials accountable.
