Arunachal Pradesh Chief Secretary (CS) Naresh Kumar visited the Miao-Vijaynagar (MV) road in Changlang district to take stock of the status of construction of the 157-km-long strategically significant road.

The Chief Secretary was accompanied by Miao ADC Sunny K Singh, Changlang SP Mihin Gambo, RWD engineers and contractors.

CS Kumar inspected the strategically significant road up to 77 miles, and expressed satisfaction with the progress of work.

It is to be mentioned that the RWD has been toiling hard so that the road’s construction can be completed within the stipulated period.

A large workforce, backed by heavy machineries, is consistently putting a fierce fight with mud and slush in the brutal weather conditions. 

New earth-cutting is being carried out at many chainages as the pavement is extremely slushy and muddy.

The MV road is divided into five packages, and the stretches under Packages 1, 2 and 3 are now motorable. The work on Package 4 is nearing completion, but the pace of work on Package 5 (Gandhigram to Vijaynagar, 16 kms) is disturbing as the bridges and several culverts are very far from completion.

If the pace of construction under Package 5 is not accelerated, the possibility of the much publicised road getting completed within the deadline of March 2022 will remain a dream. Moreover, the weather may start playing spoilsport from mid-February.
