Gauhati Medical College Superintendent raises alarm over hazardous condition of Rajgarh road

Superintendent of Gauhati Medical College, Dr Abhijit Sarma, highlighted the poor condition of the PWD-maintained Rajgarh Road. 

He noted that people on two-wheelers are frequently falling from their scooters and bikes due to the uneven surface.

Dr. Sarma expressed concern that many high officials who travel this road to their offices in Chandmari might also be affected. The senior doctor questioned why no one had directed the contractor to level the large potholes on this road.

This is not the first time, the Gauhati Medical College Superintendent has raised Guwahati's civic issues earlier also wherein he highlighted the traffic woes near a city-based school in the Geetanagar area.
