He further explained that the roundabout was done with used foam work and too much sandy materials instead of normal cement concrete.
“Also, the structure is too tall to be placed in front of the government house as it defaces its main gate which blocks the view for security surveillance.” Bature added
Additionally, it poses traffic challenges around the area because of its size, blocking the view of drivers accessing all routes linked through the roundabout.
He concluded that “the government wishes to make it clear that it became very necessary to take down the structure for the purposes of immediate reconstruction and downsizing to ensure visibility of the government house entrance and safety of motorists.”
