By Staff Correspondent

DIBRUGARH, May 30 - Several vehicles remained stranded for more than two hours near Dikom on Monday afternoon as the National Highway 37 was blocked by agitating local members of All Assam Students� Union, Assam Tea Tribes Students� Association and Mottock Yuva Parishad over poor construction of the dilapidated highway.

The blockade resulted in unprecedented traffic snarls on both ends of the roads where even plying of ambulances, vehicles of the defence personnel and policemen were hindered. The protestors accused the concerned engineer of foul play as the repair works were being done without lights during the nights. The protestors called off the blockade after the district administration assured of redoing the repair works.
