Kolkata: The airport bound traffic was badly hit when locals blocked Ultadanga crossing foraround 20 minutes in protest against the death of a local youth in a clash over collection of parking fees.
Ultadanga being the city's gateway from the airport, even a 20-minute blockade had a cascading impact. The airport-bound traffic had already been moving at a snail's pace because of construction of a number of pedestrian underpasses across VIP Road.
The clash over parking fee collection at illegal parking lots took place on Thursday night between a youth called Laltu and another youth, Bhola, at Murari Pukur. Police said both Laltu and Bhola were trying to capture the parking lot which generates a steady income.
The altercation over the fee collection soon turned into street fight when Bhola and his associates assaulted Laltu severely and left him there on the street in an unconscious state. Locals later rushed him to R G Kar Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on Sunday. Bhola and his associates absconded ever since Laltu was taken to hospital.
