The national highway at Gairigaon, Tadong looked almost like a river on Sunday night when the storm drains along the highway failed to drain the rainwater which then poured onto the road. Even heavy vehicles found it difficult to manoever through the oncoming muddy water which was carrying small rocks, garbage, and sludge along with it. The video shows how the road looks on a normal day followed by footage taken on Sunday.

ReplyDeleteand post it on Face Book too.....the municipal officer will promptly stand up and say there is no civic sense among the ppl and they should do more on their own and some body called Gem will start praising the CM high and low!! But whose job is it to keep the drains clean???
ReplyDeleteHow shameful is this??? Development has to be a holistic one and not cosmetic. Together with all else, the mindset of our politicians, contractors, engineers, civil society must change. All this cannot happen overnight. At the moment, there exists not even a will for change. We are all so blissfully happy with the status quo. This fiasco on the highway is ephemeral in the larger public memory which is inundated with images of Chamling walking on muddy village road, barely hiding his smirk which stems from the satisfaction of seeing SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT ALL AROUND HIM.
