Previously, heavy rainfall damaged the structural fit of the road in the highway of Chalantapara in Jogihopa leading to the partial collapse of the Highway from Tulungia to Jogihopa. The incident is reported to have happened last night and triggered severe threats to accidents to the passers-by.

It is criticized that the company named RSBI worth Rs 636 crore has not put the work under correct supervision. The road constructed under the construction company has complaints of collapse every day. The locals are protesting in anger at such failures of the Government to overlook the serious damages caused by the construction company of the engineers. Without the fully functional activity on the road, it has emerged numerous cracks and structural damages. It is also alleged that the result of such havoc is created due to the use of substandard materials and has left without proper completion.
