Guwahati Residents Suffer as Vital GMCH Road Lies in Disrepair

Residents and commuters near Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) are facing significant delays and inconvenience due to the deteriorated state of the road in Kachari Basti area. The crucial link between GMCH and various parts of the city has been neglected for over a year, doubling travel times and causing frustration among locals.

The road, essential for connecting GMCH to Ganeshguri, Khanapara, Hatigaon, Kahilipara, and other areas, now forces commuters onto longer routes like GS Road due to constant delays and traffic congestion. Students of NEF Law College and Dispur College, as well as patients visiting nearby hospitals, also rely on this route, making its disrepair detrimental to daily operations.

Efforts to seek clarity on repair timelines from municipal authorities have yielded little, deepening public frustration amid safety risks posed by the deteriorating road conditions, especially during monsoons. Calls for urgent action resonate within the community, highlighting the road’s critical role in healthcare access and city connectivity.

Residents and stakeholders urge swift intervention to restore the road and alleviate ongoing hardships.
