STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI: Big potholes here and there mark the Hatigaon main road in the heart of Guwahati. The potholes turn dangerous leading to accidents when they are submerged by rainwater.
The road is a busy one with a number of offices, schools and organizations having their offices by its sides. Vehicular traffic on the road is heavy. Even the convoys of VIPs and VVIPs often go by the road when the need arises.
But then, what leads the State government not taking care of such a busy road?
One thing that is observed in Assam as often as not is that the State administration doesn't do anything unless something fatal happens – be that manholes claiming the lives of pedestrians or surging waters of the drains sweeping away pedestrians. Is the administration waiting for fatal accidents to occur?
