The Sentinel | Parbung (Manipur), Nov 3
It is a lifetime’s adventure to go to Tipaimukh, the southernmost Assembly constituency in Manipur bordering Assam, Mizoram and Burma. This is a place where the elected representatives, high officials and even teachers and doctors do not go at all. The government offices are there only in name and the people who are denied all assistance and largesse are left to fend for themselves.
Parbung, the sub-divisional headquarters, is 224 km away from Churachandpur, the district headquarters. Highway 150 which is, an euphemism undoubtedly, a one-way serpentine road. It had never been repaired and there is no maintenance at all. In fact, the pre-World War II roads constructed by the Britishers are in much better condition now. The silver lining is that the BRTF has started piling up rocks and other construction materials along this highway in the Thanlon Assembly constituency adjacent to Tipaimukh.
