Police foil CPI(M) protest against incomplete Gunadala flyover
The Hindu
: People in Vijayawada face traffic woes due to delay in completion of Gunadala flyover. CPI(M) activists' 'mahadharna' demanding completion foiled by police. YSRCP govt. reneged on promise to finish construction, only few pillars built.
People continue to face woes due to delay in resumption of construction work on the 1.2 km Gunadala flyover in Vijayawada.
The flyover, near Don Bosco School, connecting Gunadala to Eluru road, began 14 years ago. But it has been pending since then due to various reasons, leading to traffic congestion on the three bridges passing over Eluru and Ryves canals and Budameru rivulet, many felt.
The residents of Prakash Nagar, Lenin Nagar and other areas complained that in the absence of a bridge they had to cross a railway track where traffic gets halted for more than 30 minutes.
“There are four schools in this area. Children from Gunadala Centre and Sai Nagar study in these schools. For people coming from these areas, the main entrance is the railway gate. Traffic congestion has become an everyday issue for us. Much of the traffic can be diverted via the flyover if it is completed,” said Sarveswara Rao, a resident.
“Thousands of people, most of them labourers, use this stretch of road that goes across the two canals and the rivulet. Despite repeated pleas, the government has not taken any step to resolve our issues,” a shopkeeper said.
Meanwhile, CPI(M) activists’ ‘mahadharna’ demanding completion of the flyover, was foiled after the party leader Ch. Babu Rao and others were whisked away by the police on Thursday (October 26).
Police officers said the activists did not have permission for the demonstration. Fifteen activists were detained during the demonstration.
