AHAM files complaint over delayed road construction

14 Jun 2023 CW Team

The Achik Holistic Awakening Movement (AHAM) has officially filed a complaint with the Deputy Commissioner of North Garo Hills regarding the significant delay in the road construction project at Khaldang Rongsrek in the Resubelpara suburban area.

AHAM has brought attention to the fact that the construction work on the road stretch from Khaldang Babupara to Khaldang Songma has been abandoned for several months, causing immense hardships for the local residents.

The inhabitants of Khaldang Songma and Khaldang Rongsrek are currently facing severe difficulties due to the deplorable condition of the road, especially during the rainy season. The road's deteriorated state has made it nearly impossible for vehicles to pass through, leaving the villagers with limited transportation options. In urgent medical situations, sick individuals are forced to undertake long journeys on foot to reach healthcare facilities.

Although the road construction project began in 2021, progress has been sluggish, and it remains unfinished up to this day. Considering the ongoing hardships endured by the affected communities, AHAM has urgently appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to promptly address this issue.

AHAM has stressed the urgent need for swift action, as the villagers' daily lives and well-being are being severely impacted by the situation.
