Yippie! Found this pic of "THE Firayalal", Ranchi's own homegrown "Mall" or rather Departmental store (More than 60 Yrs old). It came up in times when probably most of India wouldn't have heard of such a store format.

This place desperately needs multi-level parking

[vishal]

Yes, most of Ranchi is struggling with extreme road crunch. The pressure of haphazard traffic is immense and it takes anywhere between 30 mins to an hr. to reach even like 5-6 Kms. However on a positive note, a ~2 Kms long S-Shaped flyover/elevated road has been santioned for this juntion. It will be coming in from the top of the pic (perspective-wise) and will take a left turn (right of the pic) and then a right turn to merge down into Kutchery Road (another busy area). The construction will commence early 2013 and has a planned execution timeline of approx 13 months (which I highly doubt ).

Here's another view of the same junction from a different angle taken during yesterday's winter rains (due to disturbances from Bay of Bengal)

It will be difficult to construct a flyover with that traffic

Not only that, there would be tons of typical protests by none other than illegal enroachers and shopowners who have encroached most of the footpath bands ...followed by dharna-pradarshans-effigy burning and what nots from the various groups...making this another decade long Jharkhand project. Still hoping sincerely that it sees the light of the day sooner than later.

Hockey India (HI) Friday announced that the Ranchi franchise of its upcoming league has been bought by the Patel-Uniexcel Group.
