Dimapur, March 28 (MExN): The Dhansiri River Flood Control Board (DRFCB) today appealed to the authorised department to allot construction of suspension bridge at Old Dhansiri Bridge at the earliest for the safety of the public in general before any incident arises at the site.
While government authorised persons have started dismantling and reconstructing the Old Dhansiri Bridge in full swing, residents living on both sides of the river are facing difficulties as they have to commute daily for various activities, DRFCB Vice-Chairman & PRO Hekuto Wotsa said in a press note.
Each day over 1000 commuters, especially the poorer section of the society who cannot afford transportation fare, are precariously plying on the old bridge route as well as the temporary structure meant for telecom cables, it said.
“In accordance to the view of the public it is the sole responsibility of the contractor to build the suspension bridge for the safety of the public,” it added.
If not, the Board appealed to the authorised department to allot the construction of suspension bridge at the earliest for the safety of the public.
