Port Blair, Jun 30: The Dairy farm road was opened on 27th June for light vehicles brining much relief to public but today when suddenly the road was closed again for some time and traffic was diverted through old route, questions were raised by public and many posted photos and videos in social media claiming damages in the culvert once again.
However, talking to Andaman Sheekha a senior officer of APWD today said that the road was blocked as the height restricting marker was hit and damaged by a pickup van, which was modified with extra height.
“Heavy vehicles and vehicles with certain heights are not allowed on the road at present and hence a marker was placed which was hit and damaged by the pickup van, for which the traffic was diverted. But the road was opened after 45 minutes,” he added.
Sources in Police Department also confirmed the news saying the road was blocked for only some time to place the height marker back for the safety of the culvert.
