Golaghat: People in Golaghat staged a protest against the reckless driving of dumpers on the newly-constructed road from Kacharihat to Padumani.

The road, built under the Chief Minister’s Pucca road development scheme, has a load capacity of 9 tons, but over 100 dumpers carrying 40-50 tons of load pass through daily, causing damage to the road and posing a threat to pedestrians, including students.

Local residents complained that the road would soon be damaged due to the heavy load, and demanded that the district administration take action against the reckless driving. They warned that if no action is taken, they would be forced to take matters into their own hands.
