NH service road condition at #Baharagora towards Kolkata. With the #monsoon already arrived in the state it will only get worse & unlocking of activities will also increase the traffic manifold. I request @DCEastSinghbhum @NHAI_Official to intervene. @nitin_gadkari Sir FYI. pic.twitter.com/5eN9GhKaAD
