Jiribam, February 04 2019:
The Land and Properties Owners' Association (LPAO) has imposed a seven days economic blockade on NH 37 (Imphal-Jiribam), starting this morning upto 6.30 pm of February 10, against the failure of the State Government to pay compensation for land and properties affected by construction/repairing of road from Tupul to Phaitol.
The compensation was to be paid under "Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 by National Highway and Infrastructure Development Cooperation Limited (NHIDCL), said a statement of LPOA.

Meanwhile, a press release issued by New Keithelmanbi Area Chief Association secretary Poalei Kipgen informed that there is no such bandh/blockade in the road stretching from New Keithelmanbi to Tupul of the said highway.
On the other hand, the 48 hours bandh called on National Highway 37 and boycott on National project imposed by Rongmei Naga Youth Organisation Manipur (RNYOM) made the vehicular movement and put the processing of Railway project to a standstill.
During the bandh, there were no movement of passenger vehicles along the highway and all the vehicle counters too were closed.
Several goods laden trucks heading for Imphal are also left stranded at Leinganpokpi and Gularthon, Jiribam.
The step to call bandh and boycott National projects were taken up as the State Government and concerned authorities have turned a deaf ears to the call of RNYOM and other CSOs to bring an amicable solution regarding the pollution caused by the construction companies by dumping the chemical filled water from the tunnel directly into the river, said RNYOM president Nicholas Gonmei.
