SHILLONG, April 26: The High Court of Meghalaya on Wednesday directed the state government to look into the grievance pointed out in a petition pertaining to the 9-km stretch of AMPT road in Garo Hills which is said to have started showing signs of wear despite being completed in February.
The petition claimed that except the 9 km stretch, the work is otherwise progressing well on the AMPT Road.
The court was told that though the 9 km stretch between 32 km and 41 km was completed in February, 2023, but it has already started to break up and shows signs of wearing.
“If such is the case, it would be alarming. It is completely unacceptable that a road would be repaired in the dry season of February and the road would not last even before the first pre-monsoon showers have surfaced,” the Division Bench said.
