Imphal, November 07 2008:
The United People's Forum, Tamenglong district and Nungba Citizens' Council (NCC) have deplored the alleged negligence of the Government toward the all round developmental works in Nungba A/C, particularly the pitiable condition of the Old Cachar Road (Tongjei Maril), the only line of communication between Manipur and other parts of India through Nungba.
In a joint statement, chairman of United People's Forum Meijinthui Pamei and chairman of Nungba Citizens' Council M Hoinailung lamented that inspite of numerous representations submitted to the authorities concerned for improving the condition of the road so as to avoid frequent occurrence of accidents, but nothing had been done.
The two organisations have also demanded immediate transfer of the Supervision office of Old Cachar Road from Bishnupur PWD Division to Tamenglong PWD Division, posting of an IPS officer (SP) at Tamenglong district and opening up of a District Level Emergency and Trauma Centre at Noney in Tamenglong district.
