It’s pertinent to mention that a couple of weeks ago, a slew of local newspapers as well as other electronic media covered several news items regarding the alleged manipulation of departmental guidelines and irregularities in the construction of the four-lane road from Amoni towards Kaliabor Tiniali in Nagaon district. It is alleged that due to the flouting of guidelines as well as irregularities of the construction agencies, the under-construction NH four-lane road developed cracks in various places within months of its completion, and the construction agencies concerned tried to clear their dues from NHIDCL, Tezpur office, simply by filling up the potholes that occurred on the under-construction NH 37 four-lane road.
