Deep Potholes and Poor Visibility Raise Safety Concerns on NH-27 Tunnel in Silchar-Dima Hasao
Commuters and locals have raised concerns about the deteriorating condition of National Highway-27 at Nriambanglo, especially inside the tunnel on the Silchar-Saurashtra East-West Corridor. The road surface has worn away with deep potholes posing risks to vehicles, particularly at night due to poor visibility. Despite discussions between local authorities and the National Highways Authority of India, repairs have been slow. Several stretches between Hatikhali and Nriambanglo are also damaged, with conditions worsening after the monsoon season.
