Following an assurance from Sugnu MLA K Ranjit and Hiyanglam MLA Dr Radheshyam Yumnam that the repairing work of Sugnu-Wabagai Lamkhai stretch would be initiated from this month itself, the indefinite blockade along the said road was lifted on Thursday.
The blockade was imposed by Kakching Khunou Football Academy, All Kakching Khunou Meira Paibi Welfare Association and Kakching Khunou Lamkhai New Bazaar Committee since December 18, demanding the authority concerned to repair the deplorable road stretch at the earliest.
The blockade was lifted after the two MLAs along with engineers of PWD reached an agreement with the agitators during a talk at Kakching Khunou Keithel.
Speaking to media persons, Ranjit informed that Works Minister has assured to sanction Rs 2 crore for repairing Wabagai-Sugnu Road, which is around 27.4 km long.
Expressing happiness on lifting the blockade, the MLA assured that all possible help will be extended from his side too to repair the road at the earliest.
MLA Dr Radheshyam said that repairing work on some section of Wabagai Lamkhai-Sugnu stretch has already begun by incorporating it in the work programme.
