Tripura's Road Link To Rest Of India, A National Highway, Looks Like This
The National Highway 44, on the Assam-Tripura border, has turned into slush at many places due to heavy rain.
For over a week, more than 1,000 trucks have been stranded on the Assam-Tripura border. Many of them, like 37-year-old Vikram Das's truck, are carrying essential supplies like food, medicines and fuel in to the landlocked state. But it's not an agitation that holding these trucks up. It's just rain.
Heavy rains have lashed both Assam's Barak Valley region and Tripura for the last 10 days. This means that Tripura's only road connection to the rest of the country, National Highway 44, has turned into slush at many places.
Locals complain the efforts to fix the road has been inadequate.
One of those places is right at the border of both states, where Vikram's truck has been stuck. "I have been here for a week. I have no money left. God knows when this will be cleared."
On parts of the highway, the efforts to clear the road seem inadequate, locals complain. On one stretch for instance, a single earthmover machine, and some enterprising truck drivers, are helping those who can muster up the courage, to wade through the slush and move ahead.
All of this means, that Tripura, especially capital Agartala, is facing an acute shortage of fuel, and prices of most other essentials have shot up.
Tripura is fully dependent on this highway for supply of essentials, food grain, fertilisers, petroleum products, construction materials and other commodities from different states of India besides ferrying passengers.
"Tripura is crying for restoration of its only National Highway and has taken all-out efforts to convince both Central and Assam government about the dangerous situation of the highway but both governments have remained indifferent," Tripura Transport Minister Manik Dey said on Saturday.
A single earth mover was seen trying to clear the slush on one stretch.
An official of the food and civil supplies department said that almost all the 60 petrol pumps are running dry for the past one week causing unprecedented problems to the people.
The situation has worsened as train services between Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, southern Assam and rest of India remain cancelled for more than 45 days now, due to damaged railway tracks in the mountainous Dima Hasao district of Assam due to rains and landslides.
The BJP's Tripura state President Biplab Deb held a meeting with the Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Assam's Roads and Highways Minister Parimal Shuklabaidya a few days ago, and says he has been assured of all steps to restore road traffic in the region at the earliest.

Centre To Repair National Highway-44 In Tripura On 'War-Footing'
Government today said it will repairNational Highway-44 in Tripura on "war footing" to improve connectivity in the state.
The assurance comes a day after Tripura government sought the Centre's intervention to repair a highway stretch to ensure supply of essential commodities to the state.
"I have instructed officials to work on war footing to fix NH-44 so as to improve connectivity to Tripura," Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted today.
The NH-44 constitutes Shillong-Passi-C288 Badarpur-Agartala Sabroom Shillong-Nongstoin section.
"I would be monitoring the progress of this highway on a fortnightly basis," the minister said in another tweet.
Yesterday, Tripura PWD Minister Badal Chowdhury had urged the Centre for immediate repair of a portion of National Highway as thousands of trucks carrying essential commodities for Tripura were stranded due to poor condition of the road.
"If such condition continues for a few more days, the state would face acute crisis of essential commodities and fuel. I have urged the Central Government to take urgent steps to immediately repair the national highway and create a situation for bringing essential commodities through neighbouring Bangladesh," Mr Chowdhury had said.

Supply of fuel, essentials improves in Tripura after highways repaired
After two months, the supply of essentials and fuel has improved in Tripura with the state’s lifelines — National Highway-8 and NH-208(A) — being repaired in neighbouring Assam, a minister said here on Monday.
Due to heavy rains and poor maintenance, NH-8 and NH-208(A) had turned into muddy quagmires with knee-deep slush over 10 to 20 km area in southern Assam’s Karimganj district adjoining north Tripura, thus virtually snapping Tripura’s surface communication.
Normal life was badly affected in the northeastern state for the past two months due to huge shortage of transport fuel and essentials. People were facing severe scarcity of cooking gas due to a major shortfall in supply.
“Both NH-8 and NH-208(A) have been repaired as much as possible and works are proceeding on a war-footing. A large number of goods-laden trucks, fuel tankers and other vehicles passed through the damaged stretches despite rain and bad weather,” Tripura Food and Civil Supplies Minister Bhanulal Saha told IANS.
He said: “We have told the IOCL (Indian Oil Corporation Limited) to arrange 60 fuel tankers or two lakh kilolitres of petrol everyday to meet the crisis. Top officials of railways, IOCL and Tripura government held a series of meetings during the past two days to arrange carrying of fuel through the railways.”
The minister said necessary infrastructure was not yet ready to carry fuel through railways to Tripura from Assam.
“If the central and Assam governments had taken steps earlier to repair NH-8 and NH-208(A), then Tripura would not have suffered. The Centre should be much more responsible for easing the sufferings of the northeastern states which are affected due to lack of proper surface connectivity,” he said.
Meanwhile, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu told reporters here that to overcome the fuel crisis in Tripura due to damaged road connectivity, he has instructed officials to take steps for bringing in fuel through the railways.
Tripura PWD Chief Engineer (in-charge of National Highway) Dipak Das said the state PWD has been helping the NHIDCL (National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited) to repair NH-8 and NH-208(A).
“Maintenance of both the national highways has been going on just to overcome the crisis in Tripura. After the end of monsoon in September, exhaustive repair work would be undertaken,” Das told IANS over phone.
North Tripura District Magistrate Sandeep Namdeo Mahatame and top engineers of PWD are camping at Ground Zero to supervise the maintenance works and passing of vehicles from Assam to Tripura.
Several hundred goods-laden trucks and oil tankers carrying fuel from Guwahati and different parts of India had earlier got stuck in Assam’s Karimganj, while the situation further worsened as the train services between Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur and southern Assam and the rest of India became irregular for more then two-and-a-half months due to damage to the railway tracks in Assam’s Dima Hasao district. Prices of fuel and essential commodities have gone up in Tripura.
Taking a cue from the Delhi government, Tripura had introduced the “odd-even” system of plying of vehicles in a bid to ration petrol and diesel. (IANS)
