JAC concerned over damaged drainage slabs along the road

March 4, 2017 | by admin

Joint Action Committee (JAC) for Dhobinalla-Signal Angami-Thahekhu Road stated that the road along the stretch of Dhobinalla-Signal Angami-Thahekhu village gate was on the verge of losing its much acclaimed ‘German technology’ tag within a year, owing to the damaged drainage slabs.
In press note, JAC convenor K.K. Yepthomi stated that the road was at grave danger of deteriorating to its earlier condition owing to inadequate drainage and its poor construction along the entire stretch. 
Stating that most of the drain slabs along the stretch notably Army Supply Depot, IFC godown area etc were thinly constructed and huge damages have already started, JAC said that regular practise of Army’s heavy vehicle parking over the drain slab pavements near the Depot have been found to be detrimental, causing break-ins which were already in critical condition.
Owing to haphazard parking by Army vehicles in the Depot area, vehicular accidents happen quite often and several cases of injury to humans have also been reported after they fall into the break-in slabs, JAC added.
JAC also drew attention of the district administration and department concerned about the fence constructed along the stretch by Army, which it said clearly encroached public property and road. 
It also expressed gratitude and deep appreciation to the PWD, department of Roads & Bridges and minister in-charge, Y. Vikheho Swu for repairing the road 
JAC also fervently appealed the esteemed authority to initiate proper drainage system and construct durable slabs which would also serve as a strong and safe pavement for the pedestrians.
