KOLKATA: Jorabagan police and traffic guard, along with Girish Park police, met the locals on Thursday, a day before the shutdown of the Girish Park-Ganesh Talkies stretch for the demolition work of Posta flyover.
Cops distributed 30 passes among the residents for parking their cars on the lanes and bylanes around Rabindra Sarani and KK Tagore Street, sources said. “The number of passes will vary, depending on the nature of the work on this stretch,” said an officer.
There will be a no-parking zone around the 300-metre stretch of Vivekananda Road once the work starts. Cops have helped the residents to get their queries answered by the KMDA. The two parking lots on Vivekananda Road and KK Tagore Street, managed by the KMC, will be removed for the next three months.
“The flyover is situated close to residential buildings and there might be minor damages due to the work. The KMDA officials have assured the residents that the civic agency will compensate them for such damage,” said a police source.
“The blockade will be implemented after the peak hours in the morning. Since there will be no work till September 1, we don’t want to put the office-goers in any trouble. We will complete putting up signs on road by Saturday morning,” said an officer of the Jorabagan traffic guard.
