Manipur road links restored
Assam Tribune | Sobhapati Samom | Imphal, July 29
Road links to Manipur, which remained cut off from the rest of the country since the last three days following heavy landslides on the National Highways, has been re-opened on Thursday. However, repairs of the road at the landslide prone Maram bazaar stretch of Imphal-Dimapur sector of the National Highway 2 (formerly known as NH 39) in Senapati district would take some time.
With the opening of the State’s life line, the 300 stranded goods laden trucks have resumed their journey for their destinations in the afternoon today.
But the more than 4,000 residents of Maram bazaar, a small hill town located on the highway are facing scarcity of potable water after the landslide buried the water supply pipelines.
“We have been buying water at the rate of Rs 20 per 40 litre tin since the last three weeks”, Kunjeshwori, a fish vendor at Maram Bazar said.
