Closure of connecting roads poses difficulties to people
Nearly half of the ongoing Smart Road works in the capital is expected to be completed by February, providing some respite to passengers who have been facing difficulties due to the closure of key connecting roads in the city.
However, some of the other roadworks are likely to take some more months to complete.
Out of the 40 stretches of Corporation roads, totalling 9.87 km, work has begun only on 15 stretches of 3.2 km. Work on the rest of the stretches will be taken up only after completion of the ongoing work, to avoid more difficulties to road users.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
