Thoubal, November 23 2022:
Residents of Yairipok Singa under Thoubal district have called upon the Deputy Commissioner of Thoubal district to look into the movement of vehicles dragging earth materials from fields onto Thoubal Kasom Road thereby causing untold inconveniences to the public.
Addressing a press conference today at Yairipok Singda, locals of the area Alhaj Najiruddin alias Iboton and Md Zakir Hussain shared that despite the prohibitionary order issued by Thoubal DC Ahanthem Subhash restricting plying of vehicles with earth materials on the road for safety reasons on November 7, many Tractor drivers continue to flout the order.
Residents living on either side of the road tried to solve the problem by cleaning up the road but due to the sheer number of vehicles dragging mud and other earth materials onto the road, this effort proved futile, they claimed.
They also informed that such earth materials lying on the road had caused road mishaps and caused rampant dust pollution in the daytime.
Aside from this, the dust stands to cause potential respiratory diseases to the local residents, they asserted.
The residents of Yairipok Singa further urged the authorities concerned to look into the matter and take up appropriate actions at the earliest.
