It's a welcome news. But those sanctioned under the PMGSY almost 2 months ago r still to be taken up. Example road from ferry ghat to Dilkhoosh hospital a length of approx 2.5 kms is still to be taken up. The road can be only repaired in the cold months and any delay will hamper progress and the quality of construction of road will be inferior.
State minister Dinesh Prasad Goala doesn't want any development in Silchar town. He along with CM Tarun Gogoi and Gautam Roy virtually stalled all projects related to Silchar. Still people are voting for Congress Party.
