Thoubal, January 13 2023:
An enraged mob on Friday morning destroyed the road median constructed overnight by GR Infra Projects Limited and cleared the road in front of Wangjing Keithel.
Construction workers of GR Infra Projects Ltd reportedly came the night before and poured cement to build a road median in front of Wangjing Keithel where construction of road medians had already been completed as a part of the ongoing National Highway 102 Imphal Moreh Road construction work carried out by NHIDCL.
Later, a team of Thoubal District Police arrived at the site and dispersed the mob.
The police team also appealed to the public to talk with the Deputy Commissioner about the issue.
Speaking to media persons, a women vendor stated that the construction of road median overnight and blocking the road was uncalled for.
She also highlighted the importance of the road and added that the road links a number of villages under Tengnoupal district apart from villages in Wangjing, Kairembikhok and Salungpham.
"People coming from these villages have to go till Khongjom to take a U-turn if the road median is constructed.
Blocking the road in front of Wangjing Keithel would cause a lot of inconveniences especially during natural disasters or other emergencies", she added.
She further appealed to the DC Thoubal to inspect the area at the earliest and find a reasonable solution to the issue.
