“When it rains the road gets closed for two-three days and all the money spent on the project is seen nowhere in form of work. It requires a probe,” a local of the area said
When contacted BDC Chairperson Block gordi , Arti Sharma said a thorough probe is needed in the matter and guilty should be punished as public is suffering due to poor road.
