Although the water later receded, it has created a sense of panic among the residents. Likha also informed that such flooding occurs every year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another resident, Nangbia Pacha, said that the river was earlier five metres away from the road but has now inundated the road. &#8220;The constructing agency should have constructed the road a little higher from the ground level in order to avoid such nuisance,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lower Kolma is home to 400 people. Its residents have sought a proper retaining wall for protection against flooding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Friday morning, two-wheelers were somehow able to cross the flooded road, but a few four-wheelers had to take a detour in view of the river&#8217;s current.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The road was constructed by the RWD under the PMGSY. Two letters have so far been submitted by the department to the contractor regarding maintenance of the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the contractor of the road said that the maintenance work will begin from this month&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The contractor also informed that &#8220;the designated road work has been completed and now only the maintenance of the road is required.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is worth mentioning that a team of panchayat leaders, along with the executive members of the Amba Village Welfare Association had on 10 February this year submitted a letter to Doimukh MLA Tana Hali, stating that the road&#8217;s width is too narrow, and that the work was poorly executed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ Chukhu Indu ] DOIMUKH, 17 Jun: A\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 portion of the road in\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kolma village here was\u00a0 submerged by the Dikrong river in spate on Friday,\u00a0 making the area a risky one for the residents.
