It is to be mentioned here that as per the latest plan to extend flyover construction work, AMC had started the eviction drive between Nagerjala to Bordowali area. However, sudden demolition drive caused huge resentment among the local residents, traders as AMC did not give any prior notice. Large contingent of Police backed AMC bulldozers started demolition from wee hours as Police arrested over a dozen people for interrupting eviction drive.

Along with total of 5 charters of demands the Tripura state BJP party on Tuesday placed deputation to DM West Millind Ramteke.  Rehabilitation of the entire evicted businessman, to give compensation for the effected households along with total of 5 charter of demanded Tripura BJP party placed deputation.

It is to be mentioned here that for the thousands of motorists and residents heading towards Battala, struggling starts right at the entrance, from Bordowali itself. Once a serene area with wide, well-laid roads, the stretch now is a nightmare due to the ongoing flyover construction. Dry weather, compounded with heavy construction work, has turned city’s air seriously polluted. The capital city's air is thick with dust due to construction of residential buildings and flyover, and digging of roads for installing utility lines.

Traffic congestion has now become regular scenario. With the on-going construction work of the fly-over work at Battala, the issue of traffic congestions came into public eye with the regular massive traffic jam from Bordowali-Battala road, disrupting the convenient movement of traffic on the road during office and school hours.
