Consistent rains snap road communication

Correspondent
PASIGHAT, Jun 28: The heavy downpour from last three days has disrupted road communication between Mebo and Dhola yesterday with persistent rain sweeping away the wooden bridges on river Kadang between Ngopok and Motum Tinali, river Tassing between Borguli and Seram and river Tarotamak between Namsing ang Gadum villages.
MLA Ralom Borang has allotted Rs 1 lakh from his MLALAD fund for immediate restoration of road communication.
While informing about his immediate restoration effort, Borang said, ‘I have allotted Rs. 1 Lakh to the PRI leaders of Ngopok village for construction of a fare free wooden bridge over another part of river Kadang. Boats have also been pressed into service to ferry commuters at Tassing and Tarotamak rivers.”
The restoration efforts were also made by PRI leaders of Monggu-Banggo Anchal Block.
Meanwhile, the concrete bridge over river Tassing will be ready for use within a month, informed sources which will hopefully reduce huge fare charged by boatmen.
Along with other rivers of the district, the mighty Siang river is also flowing above danger level, sources said.
