The Public Works Department (PWD) and Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) were set to begin repairing and rebuilding dilapidated roads in October. While PWD would repair rural roads, the LMC would do so within municipal boundaries.

Executive Engineer, PWD (Rural), Anoop Kumar Mishra said: “More than 600 dilapidated roads in Malihabad, Mohanlalganj and Sarojini Nagar, totaling about 823 km, would be repaired in October. A detailed budget plan of Rs 731 crore has been prepared to repair, reconstruct and widen roads.”

“There is another proposal to convert the two-lane road from Gosainganj to Mohanlalganj into a four-lane road. Once this is done, it will be a huge relief to the people.
