1 2 Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to expedite drain and road construction on the stretch between Mangala Mandir Square and an apartment in Nayapalli's Behera Sahi area after citizen reporters flagged concerns about its poor condition. Citizens had expressed concerns about piled-up soil, protruding iron rods and concrete plates occupying the carriageway, with rains making the situation worse for commuters. "During the peak of the monsoon season, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation is undertaking road and drain construction, leading to significant construction debris and obstructions on the roads. The digging and accumulation of soil are making the roads slippery, especially with the rainfall. If urgent measures are not implemented, it could result in accidents," wrote Bisworanjan Dash on TOI's Citizen Reporter app. As construction is going on, the around 500-metre stretch with remnants of removed drain covers and stagnant water along the under-construction road has turned into a safety hazard for pedestrians and commuters.

Madh versova bridge gets Forest clearance, HC remains
MUMBAI: In a step ahead for constructing a ₹2,395-crore bridge between the two coasts connected only by ferry and unavailable during the monsoon, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) gave its clearance for the Madh-Versova bridge late this week. The 2.06-km bridge will connect the Madh and Versova jetties, which would otherwise take a 90-minute detour drive. Madh versova bridge gets Forest clearance, HC remains The bridge now requires approval from the Bombay High Court to divert 2.7515 hectares of mangrove forest. In exchange for the diversion of the 2.75-hectare mangrove forest, the BMC has identified three hectares of land for afforestation, where it will plant three trees for each one that is sacrificed to make way for the bridge. Once HR clears, all that remains is land acquisition. The permission from the high court is expected to take two to three months, after which the BMC hopes to begin work on the bridge on the ground by October. The bridge will be cable-stayed to reduce the number of pillars required in the mangroves, and subsequently the environmental impact. It will also connect to the Versova interchange at the north end of the Coastal Road. It has been in the works since the 1967 Development Plan. Earlier this week, the MP Piyush Goyal met with the state minister of forests, Ganesh Naik, and called attention to the bridge, prompting the government to request permission from the MoEFCC.
