TURA, April 26 - A conglomeration of NGOs from Tura, including the GSU, FKJGP, ADE and AYWO, have written to the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills district, Ram Singh, demanding closure of the NH-51 to trucks exporting stones from Bhutan to Bangladesh over allegations of overloading.
�The overloaded trucks are causing damage to the road and the drivers are very rash and haphazard in their driving,� said a release by the NGOs.
The NGOs further added that with the NH-51 being one of the two roads that connect the State capital, it is necessary to keep the road in a good condition.
