AGARTALA, May 4 (TIWN): Agitated locals blocked road demanding faster repairing of a road at Barjala, that created much traffic jam at Airport way.
The blockade held at Barjala near Mahan Club.
The Kalyanpur locals told TIWN that since many months they are complaining about the situation to the administration, but it has been seen whenever they complain few bricks are thrown on the road. As a result the road just after few days becomes same like before. In this monsoon the road has been fully collapsed and following that incident the agitated public has hit the airport road with the hour-long strike.
In Agartala however, many roads have been identified as in pathetic shape, but PWD Minister yet claims that Tripura’s roadway is better than other Northeastern States’ raods. 1) The roadway which covers Battala Fish-Bazaar to the road went near the barrage was broken down after the pipe-line was set there. But PWD has no hurry to re-construct the road there, 2.) From Joynagar Dasami Ghat to Upendra Para bridge has become almost unsuited for use. So renovation of that road is also needed, 3) renovation work of Dasamighat to Battala road is also urgently needed, 4)Renovation needed taking the areas from Fire-service to checkpost (Akhaura), 5)Kalikapur to Shanmura road also needs immediate renovation.
Along with National Highway, Tripura’s local roads are also in deplorable condition due to the poor maintenance held by PWD.
