ITANAGAR, May 4: The Longding District Students’ Union (LDSU) in a release has drawn the attention of the concerned department and the state government towards the pathetic condition of roads connecting Longding district.
Seeking immediate intervention, it informed that due to incessant rainfall a major stretch of the Trans-Arunachal Highway 52B which is under construction has become way too muddy and slippery for any vehicular movement.
In addition, rainfall has also caused flash floods which has washed out all the temporary bridges over streams and rivers along NH 52B.
“The people of the entire district now have to rely on the lone Longding-Bimlapur (LB) road for transportation. Sadly, the said road, which is the only lifeline of the whole district is also in a
dilapidated condition with multiple pits and potholes along the way,” it lamented.
It also alleged that concerned authorities are paying little attention to carry out repair and maintenance works on the said road due to which the road is  further deteriorating to un-repairable state.
“People with medical issues, students studying outside the districts and officials on regular tour are those facing the brunt because of such bumpy roads,” it further added.
