Tolichowki Road in the midst of Ramzan season faces a major challenge as a dense dust cloud engulfs the area, affecting businesses and commuters alike. The situation arise due to a recent fire accident, resulting in oil spillage on the main road. In response, the Department poured robo sand to prevent vehicles from slipping, but the dust remains a persistent issue.
The thick dust cloud has made it unbearable for passengers, especially those on two-wheelers, to navigate through the area. This has significantly impacted businesses along Tolichowki Road, including food stalls and clothing stores, as customers are deterred by the dusty conditions. “We request the government to intervene in the issue as soon as possible,” said Musharaf Hussain, a local clothing shop owner.
Comparisons with the previous year reveal a stark contrast, with Tolichowki Road witnessing deserted streets instead of the usual bustling traffic during Ramzan. Local MLA from AIMIM, Kausar Mohiuddin, is actively involved in addressing the issue, with nightly cleaning efforts underway. However, the extent of the dust accumulation poses a significant challenge, making it difficult for vehicles to pass without discomfort.
The impact on businesses, particularly the food stalls that thrive during the Ramzan season, is severe. Customers are reluctant to dine amidst the floating dust, leading to a sharp decline in sales and foot traffic.
Overall, the dust cloud hovering over Tolichowki Road during this crucial period has dealt a substantial blow to local businesses, highlighting the urgent need for effective solutions to mitigate the adverse effects on both commerce and public health.
