Imphal, February 09 2014:
Keirao Zilla Parishad Member Md Abdul Salam has urged all concerned not to hinder reconstruction of Keirao Litan Makhong RCC bridge, which collapsed on February 5 .
Speaking to reporters, the ZP Member said that it has come to the notice of the people of the locality that the bridge collapsed due to faulty frame work of the main slab.
Saying that the bridge did not break down after the completion of construction works Md Abdul Salam said that it collapsed when construction works were still going on due to weak frame of the main slab.
Contractor Md Liyakat Ali has not only requested the people of the area to allow him to continue construction of the bridge but also sought guidance and suggestions from the people to complete the bridge by April this year, the ZP Member said.
As the bridge would give convenience to the people of Langdum, Khandrok, Sandrok, Keirao, Bitra, Yairipok, Canchipur, Lilong Irilbung, Thongju and Bashikhong etc, construction works must not be banned or hindered in the interest of the general public, he said.
On the otherhand, the ZP Member also urged the concerned to complete construction of the road from Urup Litan Makhong to Arapti Lilong.
Revamping of the 4-km road had stopped suddenly after the completion of black topping works of around half kilometre.
