Agartala: Mar 19: The newly constructed National Highway in Bachaibari is already showing signs of severe deterioration, raising concerns among locals about its quality and durability. Residents have expressed their dissatisfaction with the road’s condition, pointing out that it is already in a dilapidated state despite being newly built. The highway, which was expected to improve connectivity and facilitate better transportation, has instead become a source of frustration for the local community.
In addition to the poor condition of the road, there have been complaints about the compensation provided to the residents whose land was acquired for the construction of the highway. Locals claim that the state government did not offer fair compensation for the land taken from them, leaving many feeling shortchanged. Many residents argue that the compensation amounts were not adequate, especially considering the long-term impact on their livelihoods and the loss of agricultural land that was used for the highway’s construction.
The community has expressed their dissatisfaction in various forums, seeking both better compensation for the land they lost and urgent repairs to the National Highway, which is already showing cracks, potholes, and signs of wear. Local leaders have called on the state government to address both these issues, urging officials to take immediate action to ensure that the road is properly maintained and that fair compensation is provided to those affected by the land acquisition.
If these issues are not addressed promptly, the situation could escalate, leading to further unrest among the affected locals. The state government’s response to these grievances will be critical in determining whether the infrastructure project benefits the region as intended or further exacerbates the challenges faced by the community.
