Besides, many places in the state capital including National Highways, state Highways and local streets have been flooded as rain water logged at many places due to failed drainage system which was constructed just one or two months before the last State Assembly Election held on March, 2017 failed to drain the logged rain water.
Government hectic effort of cleaning river bed at Imphal River seems to serve its purpose as the water level runs touching the tip of the river bank fearing overflow if the rain continue in the next one or two days.
The drain constructed from Keishampat to Khagempalli under along the MI road failed to drain the water from the road.
Water logged was seen in front of Keishamthong Model School, causing many inconveniences to vehicular movement.
The drainage system was reconstructed spending huge amount of state money which has been collected from the people in the form of tax.
