[By Mr. Wandell Passah]
Where is The Government and NHAI 2023 Of December You were Piled by the Headman of Umkiang but He withdrew as You and Private Work D promised to repair Kalain Umkiang Malidor Ratacherra before 2023 Christmas and 2024 Christmas had passed and 6 months more will be 2025 Christmas.
It is high time to report this to The Union Minister Of Roads & Transport. Mr Nitin Gadkari to appraise him of this Fact Presented to My friend The CE Road &, Building PWD Govt of Megh 3
Year 2012
Learning of our traffic Police my friends having to serve as chowkidars on the Umling Nongpoh Stretch as these All India Trucks from Plains got break down, My friend the CE was met to hand over my petition as follows :-
1 How on Roads could these trucks with say lawful load on Plain climb our world’s most notorious gradients from Jerobad to Ratacherra or Vice Versa WITHOUT Shedding Some Percentage of Load.
If Minister Nitin Gadkari could happen to read this there are two laws a) Climbing at less than 20 km per hour is penalized on Law Of TAIL GATING and in other countries the Driver to receive WhatsApp Messages to park on Parking Zone (But in our country no Parking Zone) and messages Fine so much and then penalties remaining before license seized is so many 2 or 1 etv
And do we not fear to be behind these slow snail moving trucks in case of fuel midinjection or faulty gear engagement
And The CE learned this one :-
The trucks be they be outdated 1210 or these Multi Tyres 2518 are driven by only single Differentials and those 4 Tyres on Gradients would torque the bitumen to peel it off and 10 trucks with rain it will be like Kalain Umkiang Malidor Ratacherra road fit to lend to Fishery De8.
The CE was overwhelmed to send it at once to the Planning in The Secreteriat but it soon returned it.
The CE retired to hand it over to his reliever who at once sent the petition back to CE for Who The hell are these Engineers to order us the Secreteriat and Note I have got proof right.
No Reading on Statistics of Road Intensity
What is Intensity
1210 Truck means 12 Ton Factory Permissible load and 3 Ton 25 % of 12 Conceded by Ministry of Transport so Total 15 Ton
But Morjee Load all know is 45 Ton
20 Ton Weight of Truck so 65 Ton and 1980 First Casualty was that Nongthymmai Bridge of start of the Old NH 40
Worst is Punjab Body used Unlawful for heavy item right as Centre of gravity raised to 12 feet from road
In 2012 at Mih Myntdu on the slope a mother a child on her back and one elder sister led by mother and on Curve the truck and 45 Ton of coal covered the three.
You know the bodies retrieved the next day in the era of no conscience man
Era of 2518 Multi Tyres 25 Factory Permissible load and 7 more so 32 Ton
They load 50 Ton plus GVW 28 Ton so total 78 Tons
Look at Kalain Umkiang Malidor Ratacherra
And you know Umiam dam cum bridge today could bear only 4 Tons
If Mr Nitin Gadkari could be informed that hopefully he would do something, then only that could save us as the Govt is too heavily drunk with Power.
