‘Smart’ hurdle

Underground cable ducting, water pipelines are being laid in various areas under the name of Smart City. Big pits have been dug. This has led to diversion of traffic at various places. This is causing congestion to vehicular traffic. At the same time, the locals have to bear the brunt of this.

Pollution has increased due to the ongoing work of the Smart City at Godaghat, Ahilya Devi Holkar bridge. This will however lead to some development. It seems that the ongoing cleaning campaign should always be done.
