Commuting through the four-lane Tata-Kandra Road after sundown is a risky affair as the 7km stretch under repair also does not have working streetlights. “I can commute on Tata-Kandra Road during the day but cannot think of venturing there after sunset. Construction agency Jharkhand Accelerated Road Development Company Ltd (JARDCL), which had built the 15km Tata-Kandra four-lane in 2012, had started repairs in April 2018 but left the stretch unfinished. Road construction department (Seraikela division) executive engineer Nirmal Kumar Singh admitted that ongoing repair work on Tata-Kandra Road was very slow. We will mount pressure on the JARDCL management to repair streetlights so that commuters don’t have to ride through the dark,” Singh said.
