Tura, Aug 5: West Garo Hills (WGH, deputy commissioner, Jagdish Chelani through an order passed yesterday, Aug 4, has put a restriction on the movement of heavy vehicles that are currently using the state road between Rajabala – Balachanda – Selsella – Garobadha effective immediately.

The order comes after a restriction on the movement of extremely heavy vehicles were stopped on the AMPT road en-route to export of stones from Bhutan to Bangladesh, after a weak bridge on the route is on verge of collapse.

The Rajabala – Selsella – Garobadha route is already in a state of dilapidation with vehicles finding it extremely difficult to navigate even during fair weather. The movement of these heavy vehicles has only exacerbated the situation for those that use the route for their daily travel.

In a new order that supersedes the previous one issued on Jul 29 which put a restriction on the movement of vehicles on the AMPT road.

The new order states that all heavy vehicles have been restricted from plying the Rajabala – Selsella – Garobadha road.

Further the order added that all vehicles carrying loads below 12 MT would be allowed to cross the damaged RCC bridge near Konachar on the AMPT road. The order added that all vehicles carrying over the 12 MT limit needed to unload the excess load upon reaching the damaged bridge, pass through and then reload the cargo before proceeding.

The DC has asked all authorities to ensure compliance of the order and asked for information to be disseminated to the general public about the diversion routes.
