It’s very heartening to see that the local people of Diyun- Bordumasa are awakening to the fact that the infrastructure condition in the area is pathetic. Especially to see public leaders like Lajala Singpho, ZPM RC Deori and Anchal chairperson TNN Innao.

Yes it is a fact that the closing of ropeway (maintain by Oil India Ltd) is causing a lot of hardship to the people around the area. But they have to be aware to the fact that a company cannot build roads and bridges and maintain them. OIL will maintain it till they think it’s viable and profitable for them. When it is no longer useful for them they will just leave it.
So they cannot blame OIL . Anyway there are hardly 100 staffs station at Manabhum, so there is no point maintaining a ropeway for them since the operational cost is quite high.
I also found it very ironic that the public leaders are critical of OIL. “Innao-Pisi (Ropeway) road under Public Work Department that has a span of 21 kms has never been maintained ever since it was constructed decades ago. It is one of the busiest roads in Changlang district that is being used by OIL. That is perhaps the reason why PWD cares least about its maintenance, the leaders felt and unanimously demanded immediate transfer of the road in question to OIL Company for regular maintenance and safety. “
But is the conditions of other portion of Diyun- Namsai roads much better? I think it’s more pathetic. If they think that PWD does not maintain the road properly, why does not they complain to the higher authorities against the Junior Engineer (Civil) station at Diyun ? Where are the money sanction for the maintenance of the road going? Are they all getting a portion of the spoils ? Why did they keep quiet for such a long time ?
