“This year the monsoon has been longer than usual. Capital has suffered most from the effect of the monsoon rains,” he said. Further the Chief Engineer blamed man-made disaster for damage to both the stretch of roads. “It is purely man made damage. We had informed administration in advance about it and had sought action for people damaging the road due to illegal earth cutting at several other location. But there has been no response,” the CE added.
