A recent 15-minute rainfall has highlighted significant safety concerns regarding a temporary road near Kishanganj. This 150-meter stretch connects an under-construction railway overbridge to the Gambhir river bridge and has become slippery and uneven following the downpour.
The road is a vital link for thousands of daily commuters on the Mhow-Indore route, including military and VIP vehicles. Residents expressed worries about navigating the road during the upcoming monsoon season, anticipating increased traffic jams, especially with rising tourist activity to local spots.
Local traffic police have formally requested the bridge construction agency to address the deteriorating road conditions, assuring that repairs will be completed within a week. However, progress on the railway overbridge itself appears slow, with full completion unlikely within the current year.
