Nearly 100 meters of the road in the middle of the village has been completely destroyed due to which in the recent rains, water accumulated in the area.

MLA Akhil Gogoi has been sharply criticized by the locals for allegedly not showing any kind of interest in repairing the historic road. The residents have demanded immediate repair of the road.
