Imphal, April 15 2023:
Social activist and former president of Tangkhul Katamnao Long (TKL) Imphal, Fillson Y Lunghar raised concern that people commuting from Yaingangpokpi till Finch Corner along Imphal Ukhrul road are at high risk owing to lack of proper sign boards for directions and activities.
Addressing media persons during a press meet held at Tribal Research Institute conference hall today, Fillson Y Lunghar maintained that people commuting along the aforementioned road are at high risk of meeting with road mishaps since the company concerned who are into road expansion works has failed to put up adequate sign boards for directions and activities.
He went on to state that the road expansion works initiated by NHIDCL since September 2020 with Dhruv Consultancy Services Limited and MS Varaha Infrastructure Limited as subcontractors is unsatisfactory though a huge sum of money has been sanctioned for the same.
'The residents besides this particular stretch of road are facing a number of problems since the companies concerned failed to implement the activities which were agreed upon', he alleged.
He further highlighted that the commuters along the road are vulnerable to road mishaps since no proper sign boards for directions and alerts are put up.
In view of the above, he appealed to the authorities concerned to look into the matter and take up measures to ramp up the road expansion works in the interest of the public and to put up adequate sign boards.
In case of any help needed due to breakdown of vehicles or other concerns along this road, he appealed to all to contact TKL Helpline number 6009492171 .
