Highway or Hell way ?
Mukesh Sharma
KNE,July 14th
The residents alongside the National Highway (NH) 31A and the commuters has complained about the pathetic condition of the Highway which is looked upon by the Border Road Organization (BRO). Along with the deteriorating condition due to the monsoons the road widening work is another add on to the traffic congestion on the NH 31A. Every day hordes of vehicles from Kalimpong and Sikkim can be seen lined up in the jam. Speaking on this context,a local has said that the widening work between Kali Jhora, Rambi and Rinyag should not have been initiated during the monsoon season, because this is also one of the major causes which triggers landslide. Few days ago a huge tree lied uprooted at Kali Jhora blocking the Highway and bringing the traffic to a standstill. Also massive boulders is coming down from the place where widening is going.
The local further complained that the BRO brings in heavy machinery for their work but after they are used, they keep it beside the road instead of taking them back. This is also one of the factors which contribute in traffic congestion for they occupy most of the space. Hence, the cautioned the BRO to work properly keeping in mind the convenience of
the people or else the NH 31 A residents will be compelled to forcibly shut down BRO’s work. And also they will demand for a different company for the road maintenance if the BRO’s work does not function properly.
