Talking to this daily, Dr W Anilkumar, one of the locals, explained the hardship being faced by locals of Kongba Irong after a large portion of Kongba river breached on July 2 early morning due to heavy rainfall .
He said that though the damaged river bank has been repaired by locals with much efforts, the flooded road is still not motorable both for heavy and light vehicles.
Left with no option, parents in the locality have to carry their school going children on shoulder up to Kongba Irong Thong from where their children would proceed to school, he said .
Claiming that many paddy fields in the locality are still submerged under water, he appealed to the authority concerned to restore the road at the earliest, considering the inconveniences encountered by the locals .
It may be mentioned that many areas including Bashikhong, Khongman, Torban Kshetri Leikai and Pebiya Pandit were flooded after the Kongba river bank got breached.
