Traffic congestion at the slip road adjoining the Bhai Bala intersection in Ludhiana after the newly re-carpeted road was dug up overnight in the early hours of Wednesday. Incidentally, the slip road had been re-carpeted by the NHAI just a day before, while the main road remains blocked since January 15 due to ongoing construction of the elevated road project. After being informed about the incident, NHAI officials rushed to the spot and opened the main road for the traffic only around 10 am and the repair work to make the slip road functional continued till noon due to which the road coming from the Ghumar Mandi was also blocked.
