North Garo Hills groups slam PWD for dilapidated roads

TURA: Two NGOs from North Garo Hills have expressed concern over the alleged negligence of the Public Works Department in maintaining and repairing roads in the district.
The GSU Northern Zone has expressed unhappiness with the department for allegedly neglecting the main road from Resubelpara via Gajing to Mendipathar Market where the recently-inaugurated railway station is located.
“It is barely 3 km from Gajing to Mendipathar Bazaar but still the department is neglecting to implement the said road. This delay for such a long period has caused great inconvenience to the public,” the GSU informed while warning of agitation if repair work on the road was not initiated immediately.
The FKJGP has also highlighted the poor condition of roads in the district and blamed the State Government for the same.
Some of the bad roads named by the Federation included the Gajing – Tapa Darenchi Road and Tapa Darenchi – Songsak Road connecting to Williamnagar.
