Description
Tribune News ServiceJhajjar, October 27As many as 15 alternative roads leading to Delhi from Bahadurgarh and Badli towns in the district will be repaired or recarpeted to facilitate commuters facing trouble with the Rohtak-Delhi national highway blocked at Tikri border for the past 11 months.Deputy Commissioner Shyam Lal Poonia disclosed this at a meeting of officials with protesting farmers and local industrialists in Bahadurgarh yesterday. Both farmers and industrialists had demanded an improvement in the condition of roads.These potholed roads pose a risk to commuters who have no option but to take these alternative routes due to the sealing of the Tikri border. A large number of people from Jhajjar, Rohtak, Jind and Bhiwani districts commute every day to Delhi for work. Moreover, a considerable number of industrial workers and officials travel daily from Delhi to Bahadurgarh.“The Rohtak-Delhi highway is also the main line for transporting raw material and manufactured products. Now, we are forced to use alternative routes that are in a pitiable state,” said a local resident.
