At 7:30 in the morning, a Bolero pick‑up departs from Purakhasia bazaar heading toward Ampati in South West Garo Hills. The vehicle serves local commuters and carries goods between the two villages.
Residents have raised concerns about the state of the road that connects Purakhasia and Ampati. They report that the route is in need of repair and that the lack of maintenance has made travel difficult for both passengers and freight. Local leaders have called for action to improve the condition of the road.
In response, officials from the relevant department have acknowledged the issue and indicated that the government is working on a plan to address the road maintenance. The department is preparing a proposal to allocate resources for the necessary repairs and to ensure safer travel for the communities of Purakhasia and Ampati.
