Road leading from Raj Bhawan to Fish Aquarium has become accidental prone due to erroneous location of a mobile tower. The tower which was on roadside earlier, today stands tall in the middle of twoway lane being constructed by Capital Project Authority (CPA). Replacing single lane, the authority is constructing two-way Lake Side road for which it has acquired land. Earlier, the tower was correctly placed on roadside but with the coming up of the second lane the tower has now come in the centre of the road causing great inconvenience to the motorists.

Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has put the ball in the court of CPA stating that since the twoway road was being constructed by Authority the officials there would be in better position to comment on the removal of the tower. BMC, however, assured to talk to CPA authorities in this connection. BMC deputy commissioner Harish Gupta said that civic administration will talk to officials of the CPA and get it removed.

BMC do not interfere in other department’s affair but will ensure to get it removed, assured Gupta. CPA engineer Jawahar Singh also assured they will look into the matter and get the tower removed. If tower was creating problem in traffic movement, CPA will get it removed, said Singh. CPA is constructing lake side road and the work is still in progress, he added.
