AGARTALA, April 5 (TIWN): Tripura under the prolonged leadership of CM Manik Sarkar has witnessed heights of under-development in the state where still today the facility of drinking water to basic health service is at stake. The problems does not ends here, the state under the leadership of the CPI-M have become victimised to embezzlement of funds, MGNREGA scams, rising crime against women by the CPI-M MLA, nil industrial set up and many more.

Of the 2.5KM fly over construction work, not even 500 meter of work is yet complete. Its almost 8 months that the fly over construction has began in the state, but till today no visible progress is made in the construction work as alleged by the common people.

It is to be mentioned here that getting a green signal from the state Public Work Department (PWD) the departmental engineers along with the entrusted Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) have taken up the construction work for building Rs. 250 crore flyover linking AD Nagar police lines with Fire Brigade Square in the city's busiest stretch of road. Tripura, which is one of the most peaceful states in the Northeast, has one of the fastest growing economies in the region.

To contain the traffic jam the Left front govt. has taken up an ambitious project of building flyover at the Agartala city. The 2.5 kms flyover, which is expected to ease the growing traffic congestion, is scheduled to get complete since the inception of the construction work but the snail pace of work shows that the half of the construction work for the 2.5KM fly over will not be completed in the 30 months.

The public at battala alleged that the construction work is undergoing in slow pace and there is no development in the site after the collection of sample for the soil test.

The localities also said that, comparing to the prior days the work progress has slowed down after the collection of the sample for the soil test.

However, agitating over the slow progress in the construction work of the first ever fly over the locals also complained that due to the delay in the construction site at battala the people faces traffic congestion at the office hours and cannot reach to their destination.

The locals further complained that if the construction goes on in a such a slow progress the construction work for the flyover will not be completed within the given time period.
