: 3 people died - 2 injured including Pregnant Women in a landslide in a tragic accident in Migging, Upper Siang.
A young youth, Ottu Nitik from Migging, Village , who was serving as the village president of Migging, along with his wife Betong Nitik and sister-in-law, died in the tragic incident.
A total of 5 people were traveling in a Tata Nexon car to their paddy field, which was located in the lower portion of the highway where the state highway cutting dumping zone is situated.
The road has been under construction for 5 months and is the lone road way to Tuting, Upper Siang district. This road has played a major role as every single person takes this route to reach their destination from different villages, but year after year, the public has to risk their lives with no options left.
This road is the key route for every individual to travel for many reasons, including education, hospital emergencies, and jobs, which are essential for day-to-day life, yet many still suffer.
Whenever summer begins, tragic incidents begin, and the count of life losses starts. In the past, similar incidents have occurred, and patients, including pregnant women and those in serious condition or accident cases, have died during travel due to the worst road conditions; many have returned home with their dead bodies.
What could be the reason for this, as this road belongs to BRO and Tuting, Upper Siang is located in a border area, and the concerned MLA, Alo Libang, after Gegong Apang ' is the longest-serving MLA in the area but has yet failed to bring road development?
This incident is not the first time, nor will it be the last, but the question is, who is responsible for all this? And who will take the responsibility?
