Citizens demand improvement of Silchar by pass

.
SILCHAR, Feb 12: The residents in and around west-south areas of this town under the banner of various social and development bodies have in a memorandum to the deputy commissioner of Cachar today demanded improvement and double laning of Silchar by pass for which necessary fund has been sanctioned by the Centre.

The road connectivity is vital not only for the movement of around 50,000 population of the areas covering Ramnagar, Chirukandi, Ashram Road, Tapoban Nagar, Ramgarh, Rani Rashmoni Avenue and Rangirkhari but also for the diversion of heavy vehicles from the congested roads of Silchar. Besides easing congestion, it will also contain pollution hazards.

With the operation of ISBT, the flow of vehicular traffic has increased manifold. In their memorandum, the citizen have urged upon the deputy commissioner to give priority to this by pass. Patients, critical and general, from different parts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi as well as neighbouring states are taken to Silchar Medical College Hospital which makes the movement of vehicles carrying them easy and smooth. They expect that the district authority would consider the memorandum and take action for improvement of Silchar by pass.
