The State BJP has slammed the State government over damaged roads in Shillong city and questioned the usage of funds to repair them.
“Being the capital city, where did the money for maintaining the roads go? The government should take care of the potholes as it endangers lives, especially of those using two-wheelers,” State BJP vice president Bernard N Marak said.
He said, “Since Shillong is a capital city, the road and connectivity should be exemplary, or else it is questionable if the Shillong city is left unattended too. What about the villages?”
Stating that most of the villages today have roads due to the centrally funded PMGSY scheme, he questioned the government if just filling up the potholes and proper maintenance of the roads of the capital is such a tedious task.
“The Urban Department, PWD roads, and all line departments should pay heed and attend to the ever-increasing problem,” he added.
