Residents of Bagh Mughalia Extension Colony in Bhopal have accused the PWD of discrimination, pointing out that the road in front of officials' houses was cemented while the EW‑LGI area received an asphalt surface in a 17‑crore rupee project.
Residents of Bagh Mughalia Extension Colony in Bhopal have raised concerns over a 17‑crore rupee road construction project, alleging that the Public Works Department applied double standards.
The complaint centers on the fact that the road in front of officials’ houses was paved with cement, whereas the road in the EW‑LGI area was surfaced with asphalt. Residents say this disparity amounts to discrimination by the PWD.
The issue has drawn attention to the broader question of equitable infrastructure development within the city, as the PWD has yet to respond publicly to the allegations.
