It's been awhile...
...but finally, I got the chance (and some much-needed free time) to take a trip of the city I live in. Be warned though, I am armed with only my Nokia 2700 with a very humble 2.0 MP camera without flash!
So, without any further ado, let's go!
Headed towards the entrance to the city of Jagdalpur
'
The Kumharpara Chowk (translation - junction) - Entry into Jagdalpur
I am coming from the city. The road to the left leads outside to the National Highway (Interstate, like you call it), and the road to the right goes past the Airport to turn around and head into the Bus Terminals. We will go through the road on the right shortly to see the entrance to the Airport.
Kumharpara Chowk from the other side
Beautiful, aren't they? The lighting isn't so good because its very cloudy today. We have been experiencing afternoon storms and thundershowers lately. The road on the left heads into the city, the way I came from.
The "Wall"
A statement by the uber-talented artists of this region, slightly beside the Chowk. A long stretch of wall of the Civil Supply Office, decorated with an artist's impressions of a typical Bastar (regional) marriage procession. We will go close to the "Wall" in a bit.
Entrance to the Airport
Closed and guarded heavily. Entry without written permission prohibited. The entire Airport is under the control of the military, since the times this became a Maoist-infested region. No commercial flights have started yet, although there is a strong possibility of private flights starting from July.
