Shillong, Aug 22: The Synjuk Ki Nongsynshar Shnong Ka Upper Shillong has expressed its dissatisfaction with the pace and quality of work undertaken by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) on the four-lane road project from Umshyrpi bridge to 7th Mile Umdiengpun, Upper Shillong.
The stretch is part of the Shillong – Dawki road project.
The Synjuk on Thursday convened an emergent meeting at Nongkseh community hall to discuss the delay in the construction of the four lane road project, which has affected the people of the area to a great extent.
The Synjuk has unanimously resolved to pursue the issues concerning the road project.
“When dismantling or destroying the retaining wall near Umshyrpi Bridge, safety measures should be taken to ensure the safety of the local residents and the pedestrians. Moreover; it should also not have any effect on the existing road or cause any major traffic jams,” it said.
The Synjuk has also expressed concerns about the potential impact of the dismantling on the water reservoir of Lummawbah Village and the safety of people fetching drinking water and washing clothes in the nearby washing shed.
The Synjuk has pointed out that NHIDCL has failed to address the issue of potholes on the stretch from Umshyrpi Bridge to 7th Mile despite the assurance given during a joint inspection on June 17. This has resulted in heavy traffic jams and inconvenience to the public.
The Synjuk has also expressed disappointment that link roads to villages, which were agreed upon during the joint inspection, have been left unattended, causing huge inconvenience to local residents, students, and traders.
