The roads leading to Namrup from Sonari to Namrup as well as Nahakatia to Namrup are in very bad condition. It is hard to imagine such pathetic roads in this twentieth century. Specially in an industrial area like Namrup which houses three very important industries i.e. Bhrahmaputra Valley Fertiliser Corporation Limited, Namrup Thermal Power Plant and Assam Petrochemical limited. The suffering encountered by every people coming to Namrup because of the road, compel them to think twice before coming. The people of Namrup deserves demands better road communication. The concerned authorities and local MLA must take strong initiative for a better Namrup.

Really it is very sad to say, only for road condition Namrup is becoming very backward place in Assam. Only for this reason, every type of business is totally down now. Businessmen leave this place. Now public is helpless.

Reminds one of the lunar explorer over the rough Moon's surface.We thank the government for giving us a real life experience of moon surface (?) without our space suit on!

when Namrup to Naharkatia road was started to making then we feel relax to live .But surprised news that near about one month, due to after one/two days heavy rainfall road started to remove the smooth surface of the road and breaking too. It means ,contractor cheating with us.
So Government should investigate and take immediate action for the road making process about material mixing ratio.
