Importance of the bridge connecting Uripok and Sagolband through Vijaygovinda Leirak on Sagolband side and Polem Leikai on Uripok side is being stressed here. A tiny portion on Uripok side just near the bridge had depressed by about one and half causing hindrance to the smooth running of vehicles. Just two or three bags of gravel will be required to fill up the depressed portion. Even the local men can do that. Who cares attitude is being shown here. Traffic jam at the bazaar area is controlled by keeping roads and bridges at the outskirt areas in good shape. The users of the particular bridge have felt the inconvenience caused to them by the depressed road. Car having low level ground clearance cannot pass the depressed portion. We have PWD, which takes care of roads and bridges. A simple question can be put to the officials of the concerned department if they do not pay attention to such tiny problem who will do the job reserved for them. It is time PWD is bifurcated into two units one for looking after major work like construction of roads and bridges and another for filling up pot holes. Each unit should have Chief Engineers having same power. Roads, which are in tip top condition are repeatedly black topped while the neglected ones are kept neglected forever. Where lies the need for raising the level of roads, which is already high. A proper survey needs to be done to identify the roads, which require filling up of potholes and others requiring the raising of level. This can be achieved when the department is divided into two. The present system of concentrating all the powers in the hand of one man has failed. Because there is no engineer to take care of the potholes that have appeared on the roads. Work orders should be framed in such a way that cost effective works are carried out. These days very few contractors come out to take up road construction work as the paying capacity of the PWD is almost nil. None comes out for blacktopping of the road unless it is associated with the work of raising the level of roads. After deducting the cuts imposed from different angles the profit is nil. One takes up contract work for making some money out of the work done. If not for that why should they mortgage their beloved wife’s gold chain and the patta of ancestral homestead land. It is time engineers realise that bridges constructed by spending crores of rupees are weakened when the adjoining portion is not properly maintained. As the adjoining portion is not strengthened the impact of the moving vehicle is taken by the bridge itself. The pebbles used in the construction of the bridges are exposed by the continuous grinding of the edge of the bridge by the moving vehicles. Attention needs to be paid to protect the bridge constructed here and there. Who cares attitude shown to the bridge should be given bucket. Construction of new bridge will be time consuming. Attention of the PWD is drawn to look into the depressed portion of the road to protect the bridge and also to make the users of the bridge happy.
