In a major road accident, two buses collided head-on near Demow in Rajmai at NH-37 on Monday afternoon.
About 50 people have been injured in the collision and have been admitted to a local hospital in Demow; no casualty has been reported in the incident.
With road mishaps rising everyday, poor road condition has been considered to be the prime cause behind the accident.
The NH-37 road is in bad shape due to the monsoons, thereby making people suffer immensely. Locals alleged that the pathetic condition of the road is due to the failure of the administration.
Meanwhile, the poor condition of the National Highways in the state came under sharp criticism in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

In a reply to Assam MP regarding the highway issue, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari blamed the state government for the tardy progress of the four-laning project in Assam.
