The Uromi Junction serves as a major link between different parts of the country but has recently been plagued by severe traffic congestion, making vehicular movement increasingly difficult.

Residents of the area were urged to cooperate with the contractor and safeguard construction materials and equipment to ensure the timely completion of the project.
