Need For Ensuring Proper Maintenance Of Nh-44 So As To Ensure Uninterrupted ... on 23 March, 2005
Title: Need for ensuring proper maintenance of NH-44 so as to ensure uninterrupted supply of essential commodities to Tripura.
SHRI LALIT MOHAN SUKLABAIDYA (KARIMGANJ): Mr. Speaker, Sir, the National Highway 44 (NH 44) is the lifeline Barak Valley and Tripura. It keeps our supply-line alive. In Karimganj District near the Srigouri High School, the NH 44 is very badly damaged because of erosion done by the river Barak. One lane of the road is already eroded, and the traffic is passing through the remaining lane of the NH 44. If this is not repaired immediately, the remaining part of the lane of NH 44, through which we get our supplies, will also become unusable.
I urge upon the Government to take immediate action for repair of the said portion of the NH or divert the traffic, so that we can get our supplies regularly.
MR. SPEAKER: Next is Shri Mitrasen Yadav. This time is for Special Mention of urgent matters. You cannot go on indefinitely. You have made your point.
SHRI LALIT MOHAN SUKLABAIDYA : Thank you, Sir.
SHRI BASU DEB ACHARIA (BANKURA): Sir, my matter is also very urgent.
