Traders protest over ‘delay’ in road widening work

Jeypore traders protested the Public Works Department on Saturday, citing a year-long delay in widening MG Road. Despite an eviction drive, only side drains are complete, leaving the busy commercial street with potholes and dust, inconveniencing businesses and commuters. Officials promised completion by January 2026, with road work to follow electric pole relocation.
