As if there is none to take care of Uripok road, which is filled with pot holes, the users of the road lament what has happened with our Government particularly the concerned department that it is continuing to provide step motherly treatment to the road. Whose advice the department is waiting for before giving go ahead signal for repairing the damaged road. Star studded cars, cars decorated with the designation plate are seen moving on the road frequently at least twice by each vehicle in a single day one for moving to office and another for returning to quarter and home. Then we have MLAs also. Question is directed to the engineers. What are those concerned engineers doing? Stomach turns and the users feel vomiting on seeing the damaged part of the road. The potholes are scattered in a systematic manner not allowing vehicles to move freely. PWD has flopped at least at Uripok. Whoever in the department, who is in charge of the road owes an explanation for keeping the road neglected for prolonged period of time. In UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s uncle, who is in charge of PWD declared that he would bury engineers wherever pot holes have appeared? His statement reflects his concern for enhancing quality of road. The worst affected part of Uripok road is near Sorobon Thingel, which sees inundation with flood water as and when there is a few minutes’ drizzle. The problem with this particular area is that the level of the road is lower than the nullah. Water flows on the road. Solution lies in raising the level of the road. Even a small child knows that. Vehicles move at snail pace at the area. Frankly speaking, who will take care of this neglected area? Application of mind is called for. Is there any other state highway in the state, which is as deplorable as Uripok road? Very recently the Uripok Kangchup starting from Naoremthong upto Kangchup foothill was improved albeit after a hue and cry by the general public. Everyone is happy. The quality of the work is also superb. But when the road improvement programme was taken up the pot holes lying scattered within the stretch of Fly over to Naoremthong were not filled up. A simple survey will make the engineers of the concerned department realise what is causing hindrances to the users of the road. Think over the matter. The attention of the highest authority of the land is drawn to look into the matter.
