MANGAN, September 23: The renovation work at Namok Khola landslide has started from today.
GREF labourers and two dozers have been deployed to clear up the slide debris at the stretch, which was swept by the heavy rainfall of the night of September 18.
A Mahindra Maxx, which was stuck in the debris at Namok Khola is still in the same condition.
It was also informed that the GREF had earlier planned to carry out carpeting works but had to be curtailed due to the rains.
On the other hand, residents said that the Mangan-Dzongu stretch, which has been damaged near Sankalang Bridge should also be renovated.
