Imphal, September 30 2011:
The Saikul Hill Town Committee, Sadar Hills (East) has drawn the attention of the Department concerned to take immediate initiative for repairing/reconstruction of the Ichai bailey bridge built over Ichai river.
The bailey bridge built on the Sagolmang-Saikul road is in a dilapidated condition due to rusting and damage of 'bailey components' thereby posing great danger to all the people who have to use it in between Sagolmang and Saikul on a daily basis, informed the Committee.
Sagolmang-Saikul road being a State highway, any further damage to the bridge will snap transportation of goods as well as cause severe hardships to thousands of commuters, the Committee highlighted and reiterated its appeal for immediate inspection and repairing works.
