Imphal, October 21 2016:
With security escorts provided by the State Government, the Transporters and Drivers Council (TDC) today sent around 160 truck loads of stones to Imphal-Jiribam road for repairing its highly dilapidated section near Makru bridge.
Speaking to media persons at Langjing Achouba from where the trucks loaded with stones were flagged off.
TDC president H Ranjit said that it would not take 5 6 days in repairing the dilapidated highway section.
He said that security es corts were provided for the trucks carrying stones at the intervention of Works Minister Ksh Biren.
BRO officials were saying before the Works Minister that they have enough money for constructing Imphal-Jiribam highway as a four-lane highway but no fund for repairing the dilapidated section which looked like a stream.
The BRO's statement sounded quite absurd.
Ranjit remarked.
