According to Wasim Akram, a local resident of Jamshedpur “Traffic situation in Jamshedpur is worsening on daily basis. It is hard to travel to Sakchi in the peak hours. But today it took me more than 1 hour to travel from Road No 1, Azad Nagar to Mango Roundabout which is barely 600 meters of distance.”
Demand of long-awaited Flyover Project
Former health minister, Banna Gupta who is an MLA from Jamshedpur West promised the local residents of Jamshedpur for a construction of flyover project connecting the two sides of river. Dec 2022, The Avenue Mail reported a statement of Banna Gupta stating the flyover construction will start within 4 months from now. And yet the residents of Jamshedpur have not seen any such construction.
When Banna Gupta showed the dream of flyover to the residents of Jamshedpur, Saryu Roy, MLA from Jamshedpur East also tweeted against the MLA. He mentioned that without the No objection certificate (NOC) from TATA Steel the foundation stone cannot be laid for flyover project
