The newly constructed bikers' lane on Ferozepur Road has become a major inconvenience for traffic. The paint, applied at a cost of over Rs. 11 crore, washed away in the rain due to poor quality.
Several sections of the bikers' lane have faded away with rainwater, raising concerns over the quality of materials used in the project. Despite the issues, TEPA has failed to address the challenges caused by the bikers' lane.
No alternative plan for buses at stops was provided, and there is no proper drainage system to prevent water accumulation. As a result, traffic jams on Ferozepur Road have become a daily occurrence.
