One Sunday morning setout on a hunt for our favorite Sambar
Idli in an authentic South Indian Restaurant located in Bapuji Nagar. After
traveling through the lanes and by lanes of Bapuji Nagar locality for half an
hour we reached a newly opened outlet Iyer Café. While tasting its delicacies
and little later its filter coffee; the roads of the area flashed in our mind.
The inside roads of one of the oldest area of Capital
City are comparable to toxic
cocktails of a group of natural speed breakers. Negotiating such roads on a two
wheeler is as painful as or little more than the labor pain of a woman. When
the rural country side sport well laid out concrete roads; why, the roads of
Bapuji Nagar locality that is in 1 km radius from BMC
office and CM’s residence in such a bad shape? Bad road condition could be an
under statement. Bapuji Nagar is one of the oldest business and residential
area that houses prominent business houses and powerful residents; in spite of
that authorities have neglected such an area for such a long time. Little hard
to believe! This could be a classic case of ‘vote bank politics’; as residents
of Bhubaneswar mostly don’t turn up
to vote. Be that as it may, Bauji Nagar deserves better roads.
