Imphal, February 27, 2010:
A new bridge constructed over Thoubal river between Chepu Yaolen and TM Kasom in Ukhrul TD block from NREGS fund was inaugurated today by NREGS/BDO, SDO/SDC Ukhrul Sudhan R. The suspension built over Thoubal river to Chepu Yaolen with TM Kasom located about 4 kms away from Litan towards Ukhrul costs Rs 15 lakhs.
Even though there is no provision for construction of bridge under NREGS, the bridge was built from NREGS fund considering the sheer necessity of the bridge for TM Kasom villagers.
For the TM Kasom villagers, the bridge is the only which connects the village to the main road for travelling to Imphal or Ukhrul.
Construction work of the bridge started in July, 2008.The inaugural function was also attended by officials of Ukhrul TD Block.
