Key intersections to turn into ‘smart roads’

Lucknow: The Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya, scheduled for January 22, is turning out to be a boon for the residents of Lucknow. The event, set to be attended by several VIPs and VVIPs, has compelled the civic authorities of the state capital to enhance the Kamta, Chinhat, and Matiyari intersections as smart roads, addressing their design flaws.These crucial intersections -- all on Faizabad Road -- are anticipated to bear the increased vehicular pressure as pilgrims from across the country head towards the temple town of Ayodhya following the consecration ceremony.
