Compounding : the commuters’ nightmare is a glaring engineering lapse, electric poles standing dangerously right at the centre of the paved carriageway on Godhani Road. Left unshifted when the road was constructed due to a stark communication gap between municipal engineers and power utility officials, the poles act as a lethal blind obstacle for unsuspecting motorists, particularly after dark. Residents question why civic planners ignored such an obvious hazard during road laying, warning that unless the poles are relocated immediately, the stretch remains a ticking time bomb waiting for another fatal tragedy.
