Imphal, April 19 2023:
The local clubs along the National Highway- 37 (Package-II) between New Keithelmanbi to Tintong Laijang village resolved to resume the total blockade from April 24, 2023 Monday between this portion of NH-37 indefinitely until the construction work begins.
It may be noted that as per the agreement on April 11, 2023 between local clubs and National Highway Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) regarding the construction of National Highway- 37 (Package-II) between New Keithelmanbi to Tintong Laijang village, the later has failed to keep its promise to begin the construction.
In view of the above, a follow up meeting was held today at New Keithelmanbi police station between local clubs and NHIDCL representatives, however NHIDCL failed to give any positive response regarding the construction.
Therefore, the local clubs have been compelled to resume the total blockade considering the hindrance caused to the activities of the locals of the area and taking into account the health hazards.
