Imphal, October 02 2012:
Dilapidated portions of Imphal-Saikul road were repaired by students today under the stewardship of Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO) Saikul Block.
The students repaired dilapidated portions of the road at Gangpijang, T Hangkhanphai and Ikou.
KSO Saikul Block president Thongjalun Mate said that the road repairing programme was organised with the twin objectives of drawing Government attention and to instill a sense of voluntaryism among students.
KSO has repeatedly appealed to the Government to repair the road since many years back but to no avail.
The road leading to block headquarters has only worsened due to rainy season.
The road repairing programme was participated by students of schools located in Saikul area like Model English Higher Secondary School, Thangtong Govt Hr Sec School, VM Nazareth Hr Sec School etc.
Troops of 43rd Assam Rifles posted at Saikul assisted in transportation of materials and manpower.
