Altogether, three organizations from North Garo Hills have threatened to resort to night road blockade over the pending construction of a road project in the district.

The matter was brought to the notice of the North Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner by organizations which included the ADE, ASWA and AAYF.

According to these organizations, the ongoing construction of Damra-Bajengdoba Road has been halted by the concerned contractor.

The organizations also noted that because of the prolonged abandonment of the continuing development, several potholes have formed over the whole length of the road, creating a major risk to travellers.

“Despite numerous complaints, the matter continues to remain the same, since the contractor has chosen to ignore the prevailing situation. We will resort to a night road blockade, if the Public Works Department (PWD) doesn’t take any stringent measures to ensure that work on it resumes within seven days,” the organizations said, in their complaint to the deputy commissioner.
