Paint washed off Kolkata flyovers after skidding videos go viral
Kolkata Municipal Corporation stripped rainbow paint from the Gariahat and Chingrighata flyovers after videos showed motorbikes slipping on the surface. The paint, applied during a Durga Puja beautification effort, was intended to be anti‑skid. At least three riders reported losing control, prompting officials to act quickly. Urban Development Minister Agnimitra Paul confirmed its removal, citing safety concerns.
