MODEL TOWN: City residents continue to suffer as the authorities have failed to construct a bridge over the railway line near Ishmeet Chowk in Model Town. Being one of the busiest roads in city, residents rue that they have to wait for hours to get through to the traffic jams that are caused when the road is blocked for trains. Jagmeet Singh, a businessman and resident of Model Town, said, "Whenever a train has to pass by, the railway authorities block the road for commuters." Sarabha Nagar resident Surinder Sharma is not alone when he complains about absence of railway bridge near Ishmeet Chowk. This fitness professional explains: "The road is one of the busiest in the city so when it is blocked for trains, you can see serpentine queues of vehicles, running up to a kilometre at times."
