ITANAGAR, Jun 19: A delegation of All Arunachal Pradesh Public Transport Federation (AAPPTF) led by its president Dobing Sonam called on PWD chief engineer (Eastern Zone) Toli Basar at his office here on Monday and submitted a representation to the latter appealing him to repair the damaged stretches of Seppa-Rilloh bypass road at the earliest.

While stating that the said road acts like a lifeline for the commuters of Seppa and Sagalee, the federation in its letter apprised the chief engineer that the condition of road is so dismal that there are high chances of accidents taking place. 

Acknowledging the situation, Basar informed AAPPTF that, ‘though an estimate for the said road has already been submitted to the government, the absence of an independent Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) regional officer (RO) is causing difficulty for the PWD and Highway department to implement many works in the state.’

Basar also informed that the MoRTH's Guwahati regional officer Pawan Kumar is presently looking after Arunachal Pradesh at the moment and things would be streamlined once the state gets its own independent RO.

It is pertinent to mention here that Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari during his visit to Arunachal on February last had assured to post an independent RO in state within a month. However, nothing has materialised even after the passing of six months.
