Footpath, road blocked by DNCC’s structure
Waste transfer station, vehicles encroach pedestrians’ space in capital’s Badda
A part of the footpath on Pragati Sarani is taken up by one of DNCC’s secondary waste transfer stations, built encroaching the space. To solve one problem, the corporation created another one, as pedestrians must now jaywalk around the structure while dodging traffic. While officials point to space constraints for constructing the station this way, urban planners think an alternative would have been possible through proper planning. The photo was taken yesterday.
