Cultural secretary of All Tai Khamti Singpho Students Union Pingda Sikhet said, ‘We would protest all such works in and around Bordumsa affecting common interest which are not at par with the provisions and specifications. ‘

However repudiating the allegations as baseless that too by a section of people without technical knowledge on road specifications, the site in charge told the North East Now that it was the initial layer laid couple of days ago and more works are yet to be accomplished in its successive stages. According to him, quality and nature of works are determined by the assigned work specifications. He also asserted that a central vigilance team had visited the entire construction site recently and expressed satisfaction on the progress of construction works of the road.

On the other hand, the aggrieved organisations too have been reported to guard off their loins to ensure that the public works being in progress in the entire belt are carried at per assigned specifications to ensure quality output. Huge man -holes along the roads due to digging beyond specifications, lack of water sprinkles causing dust  pollution and erection of side bumps also have been the potential grounds that raised the eye brows of the local residents.
