Executive Engineer of Highway Division Nani Tath said that the contractor concerned has to re-construct the damaged part, if it was caused due to a technical fault.
Incessant rain in the past couple of days in Arunachal Pradesh triggered a flood-like situation in the state capital Itanagar on Monday, damaging buildings and other infrastructure, officials said.
