Imphal, April 15 2015 :
Dejected over the failure of the Government to repair the Spinning Mill Khurkhul Lamshang Road for years, volunteers of Social Development Committee represented by Laingam, Akham and Ngariyan villages in Imphal West have started taking up improvement work on the road on Wednesday.
One of the members of the committee, Ng Sudhir told media that the State Highway was blacktopped under the Manipur PWD last year.
But now frequent road mishaps are happening along the road, which is now in a bad condition, he expressed unhappiness.
"We've started repairing work on the road from today by spending money contributed by people from the three villages and some contractors" Sudhir informed.
He said though the road is a State Highway, many vehicles coming from Dimapur side also take the route after passing Leimakhong, Sekmai and others especially during blockade of the National Highway-2 .
Sudhir also appealed to the State Government to expand the important road.
