Bhagabat Padhi,Odishabarta

Paralakhemundi: Irregularities on safe road communication is still on jinx. Both state & central government pumping huge amount but of no use for people’s benefits. Such tragic situation found at Mohana block of Gajapati district of Odisha. At Gangudipankal village of Gurujhuli panchayat a maternity care woman was feeling pain. So ambulance called. But due to dirty & muddy road that could not reach at village. Rather villagers shouldered that woman long 3 kms to reach at road point where ambulance waited. Mainly at Rayagada, Nuagada, RUdayagiri, Mohana blocks more inaccessible road communications found where patients facing all huddles to go to nearest hospital. Though election is regular, but representatives are at ease not feeling serious on such drastic situations of communications. Nor block officials rejoined their actions to mitigate such irregularities on communications. Area people lost faith on both elected representatives & government officials.

This indeed a regular news & core issue of Gajapati district.Earlier such news published in Odisha Barta on 18th September,where Kashinagar-Gumma road reflected.On 17th September yet again such extreme disrupted communication flashed that of Gosani block of Rampa panchayat.

Earlier more such cases published that of Mohana block where inaccessible road communications was published regularly.

So almost all blocks of Gajapati district such disparities found on dilapidated conditions of communication, where mainly patients that too grave issues of maternity care women were borne with hazardous communications of all life & death risk.
