Haflong : Lackadaisical attitude of NHAI coupled with long absence of NHAI Project Director at Haflong, the completion of Jatinga – Harangajao portion of National Highway delayed by several years alleged the conscious citizens of Haflong.

It is learnt that the Regional Office Guwahati has instructed the Project Director Sri Karge Kamki to stay at Haflong, but irony of the fact that Kamaki remained absent at Haflong office for the reasons known to him.

A group of journalists made several attempts to him but Sr Kamki was found absent and the staff also were not cooperative. Neither they were found maintaining office decorum nor they were willing to say anything. It is easily understandable to all, that in absence of a guardian what could be the condition of the said office.

Several organisations of Dima Hasao along with people have been demanding early completion of National Highway especially Jatinga to Harangajao portion but remained in dilapidated for long.

Following submission of memoranda by frontal students’ organisations, the NHAI authority however has approved 1823 crore project for Nriambanglo to Harangajao.

Meanwhile from Jatinga to Harangajao portion was also allotted to one Ratna company but it is found that one Laxmi company is executing the works which alleged to be very poor and substandard.
