Road tragedy spurs construction of protection walll

A well-off expatriate is getting constructed an embankment wall between Siran River and Gogra Bridge after eight members of a family were killed when a pickup vehicle plunged into a gorge last week.

Mohammad Ejaz Tanoli settled in Muscat and inaugurated work on the 350 feet long embankment wall along the Siran River. “I was shocked after hearing that eight members of a family died at this point as there is no boundary wall between Pulrah road and Siran River. I have started construction of this protection wall for the safety of people,” he said.
