Guwahati, Aug 8: The harrowing image of a critically ill patient being carried on a makeshift cot tied with ropes through muddy, waterlogged roads in Sonaipar village of Assam’s Sribhumi district has once again spotlighted the government’s failure to provide basic road infrastructure.
The patient, identified as Sushil Dutta, had to be transported this way due to the complete lack of a motorable road to the nearest healthcare facility. Villagers say such scenes are routine during the monsoon, with the unpaved, slushy roads turning into a nightmare, especially for senior citizens and the sick.
Sonaipar, earlier part of the South Karimganj constituency, now falls under Patharkandi after the recent delimitation exercise. However, residents say the constituency shift has brought no change on the ground. “We’ve been requesting the administration to construct the road for years, but nothing has happened,” said a villager.
The issue has also reignited criticism of former minister and current South Karimganj MLA Siddique Ahmed, who had represented the area for years but is now being questioned for the lack of developmental work during his tenure.
With the recent monsoon rains leaving roads nearly impassable, the incident has exposed not just administrative apathy but also the disconnect between political promises and rural realities.
Villagers continue to demand immediate intervention to ensure that something as basic as road access is no longer a life-threatening issue in Sonaipar.
