Tuki takes stock of drain damages in Itanagar

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today took stock of the damages caused by the incessant rain in the capital city for the past several weeks.
The onset of monsoon has already left trails of devastation in the state, particularly in and around the capital city, disrupting surface communication, hampering water and electricity supply.
While inspecting the Karsingsa block point at NH 52 A, Tuki, accompanied by PWD Minister Gojen Gadi, Local MLA Techi Kaso and others, directed the concerned department to take up the restoration work on war footing, an official report said.
He suggested construction of a bailey bridge to restore temporary connectivity within a period of 10-15 days so that commuters were given respite, while the work on main road connectivity of damaged NH 52 A road could be undertaken simultaneously.

The chief minister and his team also inspected the Naharlagun-Jullang- Itanagar road and directed the department to make all necessary arrangements to upkeep the only alternate route after NH 52 A connecting the twin capital towns of Itanagar and Naharlagun.
He suggested utilization of the latest technology for durable roads for the state like Arunachal Pradesh which witnessed rain half the year.
