This was indicated, Sunil Jaunky, Public Relations Director of the WMA, the Daily Challenge. "This decision has been taken, he says, because of the narrowness of the road makes traffic difficult. This road is so narrow that for several hours, the work should be stopped. For example, between 7 and 9 am and between 14 and 17 hours, it was impossible to work. These judgments have perpetual wastes time. In addition, this path is very rocky, another reason for slow work. To move forward, the best solution was to close the road users.

In addition, in case of rain, the street is transformed into a quagmire, making it even more difficult for pedestrians, "said one user.
