Imphal, November 30 2015:
Acknowledging the extra efforts made by the State PWD towards completion of the new Sanjenthong bridge ahead of the Manipur Sangai Festival, PWD Chief Engineer M Lokendro was called to the dais of the closing ceremony of the festival this evening.
However, as no invitation was sent to the Chief Engineers by the organisers of the closing ceremony, the Chief Engineer could not ascend the dais and receive the gift presented to him.
Even as the Chief Minister waited for a few minutes to present a gift to the PWD Chief Engineer, the latter did not turn up.
Later, Chief Secretary O Nabakishore received the gift on behalf of the Chief Engineer.
On enquiry by The Sangai Express, it turned out that not only the Chief Engineer, none of the PWD engineers were invited to the closing ceremony.
