Diglipur, June 20: It was hardly a couple of days ago when the people of Diglipur lamented that the road especially the stretch from Sitanagar to Kalara Junction had turned hazardous owing to its dilapidated condition and the accidents have increased manifold. They also talked about their nightmarish experience on this patch of road.
However, as per report, the recent intervention of Dr. Satyendra Singh Dursawat, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, N & M Andaman, Mayabunder in the construction work of the NH especially the stretch from Sitanagar to Kalara Junction, the condition of this stretch of road has been considerably improved and made motorable. Barring from 3-4 spots where the undulating and rough surface are still in place need to be mended to render free vehicular movement. The Deputy Commissioner had given NHIDCL officials/agencies a 15 day time limit to complete this stretch of road, which can be visible.
Mr. RadheyShyamMeena, Assistant Commissioner, Diglipur summoned Mr. Jatin Arora, Assistant Engineer, NHIDCL, Mayabunder and visited this stretch of road along with him in the evening today and took stock of the situation.
According to report, the construction work of this stretch is going on war footing and the agency is confident of carrying out the cementing work of the road for about 300 meters by tomorrow and which undeniably alleviate the troubles being faced by the vehicle & truck owners and especially the people coming from Ramnagar and Paschimsagar routes.
However a staff of the agency alleged that some trucks carrying cement and sand from Port Blair with loads beyond their capacity are damaging the fresh road; and hence these overloaded trucks shouldn’t be allowed to ply on this stretch, the staff pleaded.
