Tura, July 3: In a bid to ensure the safety and convenience of the local villagers, the Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GSMC), Babadam Unit, has approached the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills for immediate assistance for the construction of a new Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) bridge at Chibragre.
The organization claimed that the existing steel bridge at Chibragre picnic spot, which facilitates the crossing of the Ganol River, is currently at a high risk of collapsing due to the rising water levels.
The GSMC highlighted the vital role the bridge plays in connecting the villagers to the main town and expressed concern about the potential dangers it poses. With no alternate route available, the local residents are compelled to use this bridge on a regular basis, putting their lives at risk, it said.
In light of this, the GSMC has urged the Deputy Commissioner to address the matter urgently and provide assistance for the construction of a new RCC bridge at Chibragre.
