Ampati, September 30: The Co-Chairman of ACHIK, South Western Zone, has urged the South West Garo Hills district administration to immediately restrict the movement of heavily loaded dumper trucks on the Purakhasia-Salmanpara road and undertake urgent repair of the deteriorating road.

It further warned that the continued movement of overloaded heavy vehicles could cause additional damage and increase difficulties for the public.
The ACHIK representative has called for immediate restriction or stoppage of heavy dumper movement, particularly overloaded vehicles, until the road is restored to a safe and motorable condition. The representation also urged the district administration to direct the concerned department to carry out immediate inspection, repair and restoration of the road.

Calling the issue one requiring urgent administrative attention, the ACHIK leader appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to treat the matter as urgent and initiate appropriate action at the earliest in the larger public interest.
