SHILLONG: Compared to city roads, Tamabil Integrated Check Post, that connects two countries- India and Bangladesh has the worst road in the country.
The international border also attracts hundreds of tourists from India and Bangladesh every day.
However, the road condition at the zero line connecting the two nations is in a sorry state of affairs.
BSF personnel lamented the poor road condition on Indian side whereas the roads are well maintained on the Bangladesh side, a country which is economically weaker than India.
The poor condition of roads is not only in Tamabil but even in other parts of Dawki.
Besides, roads connecting to popular tourist spots like Shnongpdeng and other places are also not in good shape.
To boost the economy of the state and to attract more tourists, road along the international need to be repaired.
Satyajit Ghosh, a tourist from West Bengal said Dawki is definitely a popular place but every tourist who visits the place would definitely expect a better road and mobile network.
Another tourist, Ranjta Borah who visited Dawki for a second time, said that Dawki definitely has upgraded itself as far as food and lodging is concerned, but every tourist visiting these places definitely would love to see well maintained roads and better mobile coverage.
