Pakyong Road in bad shape


Pakyong: Big potholes on the road at Pakyong Bazaar near Rhenock & Dikling taxi stand filled with water are the cause of woes for the people. Since last year, the pothole-scarred road is filled with water during rains. The peoples who have to go through this road have to walk very carefully as the water is splashed by passing vehicles often makeing clothes dirty and untidy.
The local people, including students, usually suffer on a Haat day when there are more commuters in the road. One shop owner in the locality, Mrs. Uma Tamang, says that such stagnant water may cause disease. “We want the concerned department to repair the bazaar road soon”, she says. The road, earlier maintained by Boarder Roads Organization, has been handed over to the State Public Works Department this year
