Muktsar-Malout Road: Bridge Woes Leave Commuters High and Dry
Commuters travelling on the Muktsar-Malout road are facing significant hardship due to the ongoing construction of a new bridge over the Chandbhan drain. The closure of both temporary pathways across the drain has added considerable time and inconvenience to their journeys.
The closure forces commuters to take significantly longer routes, adding to their travel time. The alternative routes are also reported to be in poor condition, further exacerbating the problem.
This situation has resulted in difficulties for bus commuters, who are now forced to make inconvenient transfers to reach their destinations. The added travel time and discomfort are causing widespread frustration among the affected population.
The indefinite closure of the temporary pathways, coupled with the poor condition of alternative routes, highlights the urgent need for the authorities to expedite the bridge construction and provide temporary solutions to alleviate the suffering of commuters. This situation underscores the importance of meticulous planning and effective communication during major infrastructure projects to minimise disruption to the public.
