SMC to build new entry ramp to ease peak-hour congestion at Hirabag Junction

Surat: Taking note of heavy traffic on the road passing by Valluabhacharya Ashram School and congestion at Hirabag Junction during peak hours, Mayor Dakshesh Mavani conducted an on-site inspection today along with traffic police, local police, and officials from the Surat Municipal Corporation’s (SMC) Bridge Cell.
