However, at the instruction of the local MLA and TD Minister DD Thaisii, staff and officials of department concerned pressed into services three JCBs for removing the debrises since early morning today and accomplished the task by late evening.
Talking to mediapersons, villagers informed that although work for construction of the road had been included under the Central project of SPA, the required sanction order has not been issued till date.
However, after approaching the local MLA, repairing of the road began this year.
To prevent frequent occurrence of landslides along the said road, the villagers appealed to the authority for erecting stone wall by including necessary maintenance fund in the road development project.
On the other hand, passenger jeep service along the inter-village road connecting Thimba Khullen with Khol Khunou in the same Constituency has reportedly stopped due to occurrence of landslides at six places, causing inconveniences to people of the area.
