On the backdrop of a schoolgirl seriously injured with the prevailing pathetic conditions of Lukerganj flyover, there proved the careless work upheld by the Allahabad Public Works Department (PWD) authorities. The flyover is in such a pathetic situation that it demands a immediate repair as it is filled with huge potholes, tardy maintenance of road and as the flyover is pretty old its demands a re-construction also.
The residents reported saying that they have been lodging on-going complaint to the government but they have till date not received any favor. The residents are bothered as to why the PWD is not taking efforts of repairing the flyover bridge, as the days are progressing the bridge is loosing its life and the residents are scared anymore major disasters to their lives from this bridge.
Henceforth to pullout the city PWD back to work on these issues, the residents contested a protest and also the people demanded Rs. 5 lakh as a compensation to the injured girl’s family. However the former corporator Nizamuddin reported saying the flyover bridge needs to be repaired at the earliest as the schoolchildren residing nearby Old City areas use this bridge to avoid serious tragedies. After a long protest the PWD officials have agreed to come and work upon for the welfare of the commuters in the city.
