RCD set to repair damaged city roads
Patna: Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation (BUIDCO) has handed over three major roads in Patna to the road construction department (RCD) for urgent repair works. The roads, spanning 1,199 metres, are located in the Digha and Kankarbagh zones where sewerage network works have recently been completed. BUIDCO managing director Animesh Kumar Parashar has asked agencies to ensure roads are restored immediately following completion of infrastructure work to avoid inconvenience to the public during the upcoming monsoon season. "The three roads assigned to the RCD for repair include Sahdeo Mahto Marg in Digha Zone-1, Ghurdaur Road in Digha Zone-2 and the stretch from Jaleshwar Temple to Jogipur Colony in Kankarbagh Zone," said an RCD official. Earlier, a list of 39 additional roads was handed over to the department for restoration. These include the stretch from Daroga Rai Path to Veer Chand Patel Path in Digha Zone 1, Digha-Ashiana Road to Shastri Nagar in Digha Zone 2 and from Hanuman Nagar to Malahi Pakri in Kankarbagh zone. Ranjeet Rai, a resident of Ghurdaur Road, said locals face regular difficulties crossing the Ashiana-Digha Road. "A lot of dust can be seen in the air due to ongoing construction work under the Namami Gange Project.

"The situation gets worse when it rains, as the road becomes slippery due to the damaged surface," he added. While the RCD is responsible for restoring its own roads, the repair of roads under the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) is carried out by BUIDCO's appointed agency. Road construction minister Nitin Nabin had recently directed that all damaged roads be repaired by May 30 without fail. He has also instructed agencies to ensure all open manholes at construction sites are securely covered and all potholes are filled without delay.
