Potholes just before the Patkai Bridge. Even as problem of rockslide on one side of the National Highway-29 upwards Patkai Bridge persists, the other side, Chümoukedima Town-Patkai Bridge section is also turning into a state of disrepair, particularly at two locations, with potholes and craters posing a serious hazard to motorists. Efforts to rehabilitate these potholes have proven ineffective as it is usually done by covering the potholes with soil instead of asphalt concrete. (Morung Photo)
