Bad Roads: Ambulance Says No to Patients

Annoyed over the dilapidated condition of the rural roads in Koroighat under Dhansiri Subdivision connecting Sarupathar to Golaghat, residents of the area staged a protest to draw attention of the authorities to the 7 km long stretch in the Assam-Nagaland border area. Residents blamed the local MLA of 94-Sarupathar Constituency and PWD authorities for the condition of the road. Its been almost 8 years that the condition of the road has not improved. Around 600 dumpers ply on this route daily carrying stones from the Dayang river which has further destroyed the road. A resident lamented that due to the worst condition of the rural roads there is no 108 ambulance service in the area.
