On the other hand, some portion of the road has been eroded by the flowing water of Ahmedabad canal at Ahmedabad village.

Meanwhile, it was also learnt from the villagers that the said eroded portion of the road was renovated by making retaining wall with bamboo poles and fencing in a very insufficient condition, whereas after two or three years the same portion of the road eroded more critically than earlier.

Due to all these problems of communications, the village authorities and the students of the four villages approached the authority concerned several times, but all in vain.
