Cracks have appeared in at least 80 houses surrounding the Sevoke-Rangpo railway project construction sites due to alleged use of explosives by the construction agency.
Residents of Jitlang, Upper Jitlang and Chanatar under West Pendam constituency here claimed that the use of explosives for excavation of the railway project has caused damage to their houses. They also fear that the water supply source has developed cracks and may burst and create flood like situation followed by water shortage in Rangpo town. The residents have taken up the issue with the Rangpo SDM demanding compensation for the damages and permanent solution to avert further damage.
Asked on the issue, Rangpo SDM Prem Kamal Rai said he has received the complaints from the locals and a fact finding team has been sent to assess the damage. The team found many cracks in several houses which have been communicated to the Buildings & Housing department. The compensation and other relief will be worked out after receiving the detailed report, he added.
IRCON general manager T.T. Bhutia maintained that the agency has decided to verify the complaints on damage caused due to the excavation works. Technical experts with latest equipment would visit the spot and inspect the damage. If it is found to have been damaged by the railway project, future precautionary measures and compensation will be decided, he informed.
