Imphal-Mandalay bus service hits infrastructure roadblock
Nagaland Post | IANS | Imphal, Jan 8 ()
India’s plans to remove travel bottlenecks with Myanmar, with a bus service from this Manipur capital to Mandalay appears to be faced with a major impediment - poor road conditions along the border areas - but this has not affected the thriving interaction across the border. Official indications are that the proposed service will be put off for an indefinite period. “The government has been informed of the bad road condition along the border areas,” Manipur Chief Secretary O. Nabakishore told IANS.
India planned to introduce the Imphal-Mandalay bus service over a distance of 580 km as a part of its Look East policy, hoping this would evoke a good response from the people and go a long way in promoting tourism. Besides, it would help legalising border trade, as various goods could be brought straight to Moreh in India and Namphalong in Myanmar.
