Dimapur, July 13 (MExN): Blaming the present Government for the collapse of Chathe River Girder Bridge at 4th Mile on July 11, Aam Admi Party Nagaland condemned the Government for the negligence of the poor bridge despite the complaint lodged by Dhansiri River Flood Control Board authority since 2015.
APP Nagaland also held the district administration responsible for the loss of the people and the collapsed of the bridge. It stated that according to the press release published on July 12, 2017 the bridge was blocked and all light and heavy vehicles were directed to ply through Patkai Bridge. “However, the current notice at the bridge states that light vehicle is allowed to pass the bridge one at a time, no vehicle is allowed to stop in the middle of the bridge, which contrasts the press release,” AAP Nagaland, Convenor, Dr. S Amos Lkr pointed out in a press release.
“In this case, the concerned district administration who allowed even light vehicle to play is also responsible,” the party added.
It is informed that concerned citizens of the area approached district administration and the Government to see the situations of the bridge at the earliest but they neglected the public voices, AAP Nagaland stated.
“The party urges the current government to respond to the demands and appeal of the citizens within 15 days. If the Government fail to respond to the demand, it will be fully responsible for any untoward incidents,” it added.
AAP Nagaland also expressed condolence to the bereaved families and the victims who died at the incident on July 11.
