Civic body to repair roads and revamp water body in Alipurduar

The civic body of Alipurduar has drawn up a plan to improve roads and revive water bodies across the town.

Sources said from Tuesday extensive repair works of the roads — altogether 48 of them — will commence start in the town. During the past few months, condition of these roads which connect different localities of Alipurduar have worsened, especially after the monsoon. Such road conditions have also led to a number of minor accidents.

“We had planned to start the repair work from last month but could not do so as supply of pebbles had halted because of the restriction imposed by the state over extraction of minor minerals from riverbeds. Now that the supply has resumed, the repair works will start tomorrow (Tuesday).
