The video, shared on Twitter by Congress leader Gauravv Somani, raised concerns about the lack of security measures in place during the construction process at the site.

Somani questioned the absence of safety protocols and highlighted the potential danger posed to vehicles carrying inflammable substances, as well as two-wheelers passing through the area.
