<h2>Dibrugarh road turns deathtrap </h2><br /><p>Namrup: The dilapidated condition of a vital road in Dibrugarh district has been causing no less inconvenience for thousands of local residence apart from those who keep travelling in area. That too at a time when the government claims to have revolutionised the surface communication sector.</p>
<p> 
<p><br>The example here is Dibrugarh-Naharkatiya Road in the upper Assam district where a straight travel on a portion of 8 km is nothing but a nightmare. Big potholes on the road has been causing immense trouble to whoever travel on this portion touching Madhopur, Kothalguri and Tingrai.</p>
<p> 
<p>“This portion has been lying in a shamble for the last several months and we have been bearing the brunt. Don't know when the authority will blink,” said Nandeswar Gayan, local resident.</p>
<p> 
<p>Another resident in the area Sanju Chetri said,”the frequent movement of heavy vehicles, trucks, JCB, dumper has worsen the condition. Nobody is there to restrict these.”</p>
<p> 
<p>“The most pathetic condition we face when a patient is taken to the Assam Medical College on this portion. For seriously ailing patients this portion is nothing but a death trap before reaching AMCH,” said Labnya Konwar.</p>
<p> 
<p>The local residents have already apprised the authorities of this <a href="/taxonomy/term/2332">state</a> of affairs. But of no avail. MLAs and MP have been least bothered.</p>
<p> 
<p>A section of the residents is preparing to hit the streets again to mount pressure on the government to repair this portion of the road.</p>
