Port Blair, May 26: Several New Pahargaon residents are now facing a new problem at the Shiv Temple Raod, which was closed by authorities several months back due to land sliding infront of Sapna Theatre.
According to reports due to heavy rain the other side of the Shiv Temple road is now getting totally submerged under flood waters. Already one side of the road near Sapna theatre is totally blocked since several months and now the other side is also getting blocked due to flooding, leaving people of the area totally isolated.
“It is so risky to drive on the road which is flooded with water. One can’t make out where drain is and where is the road. This could cause and accident at any point of time. We are totally isolated in our area during rain,” said a resident of the area.
Careless earth removing works had caused a major land sliding in the area, damaged a major portion of road and a Temple. Fresh cracks have now developed on the Sapna Theater Junction, which shows that in case of heavy rain there could be another major land sliding in the area. If that happens the lone road connecting New Pahargaon village will be totally gone.
The Administration must form a special team to save the road or there could be a major accident tomorrow.
