Siliguri ISKCON Temple Road in dilapidated condition leaves residents facing daily inconvenience

Residents claim that despite repeatedly informing the local councillor, no permanent repair work has been undertaken. Temporary measures such as filling potholes with sand or gravel are reportedly carried out occasionally, but the condition worsens again within a few days.

The road is used by a large number of people daily, including school students, making the situation particularly risky. During the monsoon season, water accumulation in potholes increases the chances of accidents, with locals alleging that vehicles have even overturned at times.

In several areas, the condition is so poor that traffic has to move in a single lane alternately, leading to regular congestion and disorder. Locals have demanded immediate repair of the road, warning that continued neglect could lead to more serious accidents in the future.
