Summary

A controversy has emerged regarding the safety of the rainbow-painted Chingrighata flyover, where viral videos purportedly show motorcycles skidding on the surface during rain. While Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Minister Agnimitra Paul initially defended the project, stating anti-skid paint was used, she later called for an investigation into the incidents. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has denied the claims. The situation remains unconfirmed by Minister Paul, and police have not received formal complaints. Authorities have since roughened the surfaces and installed road studs on the Chingrighata flyover, as well as on the Gariahat flyover and Red Road, to improve traction.
