A CORRESPONDENT

LAKHIMPUR: The Lakhimpur district unit of Asomiya Yuva Mancha (AYM) on Tuesday once again reiterated the demand to construct the flyover at Nakari railway level crossing in North Lakhimpur town.

In support of the demand, the members of the organization staged a protest programme near the level crossing. It was organized under the auspices of the North Lakhimpur regional unit of the organization.

The construction of a flyover at Nakari railway level crossing along the North Lakhimpur-Lilabari Airport connecting road is a long-pending demand raised by the people of Lakhimpur. Known as VIP Road, the road is always a busy road. In addition to the Lilabari Airport, the Lakhimpur Medical College and Hospital, number of offices of various government departments, private sector nursing homes, an army camp at Saboti, several educational institutions and training centres are located by the side of the road. It is the way for the Lakhimpur College of Veterinary Science. Moreover, the road connects a larger part of northern Lakhimpur up to the Assam-Arunachal border area. The patients with critical condition, common people, students and all professionals concerned have to spend their invaluable time in vain by stopping at the level crossing during the due time of more than ten passenger trains, in addition to the goods trains, going to Naharlagun of Arunachal Pradesh or Guwahati and other States from Tinsukia via North Lakhimpur railway station everyday.

Under such circumstances, the Lakhimpur district unit of AYM demanded the district administration, Lakhimpur MLA Manab Deka, Lakhimpur MP Pradan Baruah to initiate effective steps to construct the flyover at the earliest for the greater interest of the public.
