DM Mangan visits landslide affected areas of Lingdong
Mangan, June 30(IPR) : DM Mangan, Mr Anant Jain (IAS), conducted a field visit to the landslide affected areas of Lingdong to assess the progress of the debris clearance and re-establishment of the route from Phidang to Chungthang via Lingdong (Dzongu). Accompanying him were SDM Dzongu Mr Arun Chettri and other officials.
During his visit, DM Mangan engaged in a detailed conversation with the contractor overseeing the project, Mr. Jampal Lepcha. Mr. Lepcha informed the DM about the challenges faced due to the simultaneous public and army traffic in the area, which has caused frequent halts in the work and consequently extended the completion timeline. He noted that if the road remained free of public traffic, the clearance could be completed within 2-3 days.
In response to this update, DM Mangan urged the public to temporarily utilise the newly operational Sangklang cane bridge, which was inaugurated earlier, today. This alternative route will help facilitate uninterrupted work on the Lingdong landslide site, ensuring a faster completion of the road construction.
He also met Colonel. Patil of Gorkha Regiment, who briefed him about the supply of rations and other essential commodities to their regiment stationed at Lachung.
The DM emphasised that along with the administrative supervision, collaboration between the local authorities, contractors, and the community is essential in overcoming these challenges and ensuring the timely completion of the road.
