The barricade does not have a reflector.
The motorists pierced on the streets for the first time often excessive and have to confuse the car suddenly because of an uneven danger or surface.
It places other drivers at risk too,” Ritesh Saxena, a resident of Nar Vihar Colony in Sector 34, said.
General Manager (Civil Works) from the authority of Noida, PK Kaushik said, “Because of the rain that is higher than normal this season, the work of the expressive resurfacing has been postponed.
To continue the entire stretch of new technology, filling work must be done.
Without removing all holes and cavities , back work cannot be done.
The whole process can be done only during dry weather when the air is not humid.
That is why we have asked the contractor to complete the work by mobilizing labor even in the night shift.
We try to find out if there is a negligence that results in the incident where A car collided with a road roller on the night intervention on Sunday and Monday.
