Response by the Public
In response to the Twitter post by the CDA Chairman, many lauded his efforts, while some pointed out discrimination and negligence in some areas.
While the decision to rehabilitate and open the cycle track for the public is a great move, we expect CDA to maintain the track and ensure safety for the cyclers to further promote the cycling culture in the capital.
