Ludhiana, Aug. 5 -- It has been around three months since the Municipal Corporation (MC) added more area to the Mall Road-Bharat Chowk intersection by removing a structure, but it hasn't levelled that portion so far, leaving puddles that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes in the monsoon season and putting commuters at risk of accidents, especially at night and in the early hours of the morning.

The Mall Road squeezes for around 50-100 metres where it meets the busy intersection. Ever since traffic lights were installed at the intersection, the spot has witnessed persistent traffic congestion. So, to remove the bottleneck, a slip road is to be constructed connecting the Mall Road to Ferozepur Road towards the Jagraon bridge.
