Monsoon is approaching and the road opposite Bhadaur House is badly damaged and in bad shape.This will only deteriorate the condition of the road in the coming times.
Bhadaur House is considered as one of the major business hubs of Ludhiana with AC Market and wholesale cloth market located here. Traders from the entire north India come here for business. In addition to this, post office, many banks, hotels and offices are located on this road.
Amanjeet Singh, a wholesale cloth merchant from AC market, said that traders coming from other parts often complain of broken roads and traffic chaos in the area. Besides, uneven roads add to the problem of those coming here for business. Ludhiana is a business hub and the infrastructure in the city should be up to date, but it is just the opposite,” he said.
“Rainy season is around the corner and even before the start of the season, the road is in real bad condition. Once the rains start, the condition will only worsen and commuters will have a really tough time driving on this road,” added Bharat, a daily commuter.
Shikha, a bank customer who lives in Sarabha Nagar, said that it took a lot of time in reaching here as it was located far from the main areas and the bad shape of the roads further added to their woes. The authorities concerned should have recarpeted it before the rainy season,” added she.
Ravinder Kumar, hotel manager near Bhadaur House, while speaking about his woes said, “Guests often complain about the approach road. For a business hub that attracts traders from across north India, the first impression should not be of potholes and traffic snarls.”
Rajesh Mehta, a transporter supplying goods to the AC Market, said, “Broken roads mean damaged vehicles and delayed deliveries. Traders lose money and transporters bear extra repair costs. This is not how a leading business hub should function
