Aalo, Jul 21: Continuing rain for the last few days has led to the disruption of surface communications that connect West Siang district.
The 5-meter span RCC culvert which is 2 km away Aalo has been washed out and the abutment has capsized due to scouring of the foundation. The RK Mission School falling on Aalo-Likabali road is cut off and temporary restoration is in full swing under the supervision of AE Highway Er. Gemar Padu, but permanent restoration may take two to three months.
The Aalo-Pangin and Pasighat road is also under landslide at different location and patients and other commuters are forced to remain stranded sometimes even for six hours at a stretch until the clearing of block points. The newly constructed Highway is also found sinking with deep cracks on different portions at Renging near Pasighat and may worsen anytime in case of severe rainfall. DIPRO
