BSCL replaces bamboo barricades on Janpath with steel grills amid public criticism
Bhubaneswar's Smart Janpath is replacing its deteriorating bamboo barricades with durable mild steel grills, costing Rs 58 lakh. The initial eco-friendly initiative, costing Rs 1 crore, failed due to weather, vandalism, and lack of upkeep. Residents criticised the project as a waste of public money, demanding practical and long-lasting urban infrastructure.
