Section 144 CrPC promulgated in Ri Bhoi district, Nongpoh

NONGPOH: The District Magistrate, Ri Bhoi district, Nongpoh, has imposed Section 144 CrPC, thereby prohibiting the plying of heavy vehicles exceeding the permissible limit of 15 (fifteen) MT gross weight, i.e., total weight of vehicles plus weight of goods, over the Umiam bridge until retrofitting of distress numbers (i.e., girder beam and deck slab). This is done as per the report received on the safety audit of the bridge over the spillway of the Umiam Concrete Dam recommended by the IIT, Guwahati. A restriction on plying heavy-loaded vehicles on the bridge over the spillway of the Umiam Concrete Dam is necessary to prohibit. In view of the urgency of the matter, this order is being passed ex parte.
