Currently, discussions are ongoing between the KMC police and road department officials to resolve the issue.


KMC had excavated the road to expand the footpath area in New Road. Despite objections from the Road Division Office, which instructed the KMC to maintain the road as it was, the metropolis proceeded with its plans. Consequently, the Road Division Office took matters into its own hands and began pitching the road this morning.
