Katigorah road blockade peaceful
SILCHAR, Oct 26: Thousands of local people, including school students, took to the streets to block the NH-44 at Katigorah-Malidahar point in protest against the administration’s indifferent attitude towards the renovation of the national highway which connects South Assam, Mizoram and Tripura with the rest of the country.
According to sources, Cachar Deputy Commissioner Gautam Ganguly, in a meeting with Katigorah MLA Ataur Rahman Majharbhuiya as well as engineers of various branches of the PWD, said he fell sick after travelling on the road during the Puja.
The sources also said that Ganguly had ordered patch work within three days and completion of the renovation work within a month. But his assurance failed to deter the United NH-44 Development Committee, a platform of four truck owners’ association formed by 370 vehicle owners from Badarpur, Katigorah, Panchgram and Kalain, to stage the bandh.
The Committee had called a 36-hour road blockade from this morning. The agitation was supported by the BJP, AGP, AUDF. It was also reported that although the ruling party did not support the agitation officially, local Congress leaders personally extended their moral support to the agitators.
Today’s blockade was held at five points –– Gumra Petrol Pump, Katigorah Chourangi, Kalain, Malidahar and Lakhicherrs. According to the sources, agitators blocked the car of Badarpur MLA Anwarul Haque and Katigorah MLA Ataur Rahman Majharbhuiya.
Also the local police and the administration did not resort to foil the blockade realizing the public sentiment.
Earlier, on Sunday evening, Katigorah Circle Inspector Debadhish Baishya held a meeting with the agitators but it failed. Baishaya was told that the agitation was necessary to send the message to Dispur and Delhi so that funds could be released for the renovation of the road.
