The dilapidated bailey bridge of Wangoo Chuthek Leikai over Manipur river has been repaired under the sponsorship of Sugnu Assembly Constituency MLA, K Ranjit.
The locals were facing difficulties owing to the poor condition of the bailey bridge which serves as a major route for commute by the people of Kumbi AC to reach Community Health Centre, Wangoo Laipham and other prominent destinations for healthcare and business purposes.
Considering the problems of the people of the region, Sugnu AC MLA, K Ranjit sponsored the repair work of the bridge along with the support of the locals.
One of the residents of the region named Th Dhamen said that the bailey bridge was constructed when K Ranjit was serving as the then Works Minister and he had also sponsored the repairing works of the bailey bridge on earlier occasions as well since the relevant authorities paid no heed to the request made by the locals for repairing of the said bridge.
Dhamen expressed contentment that the inconveniences faced by the locals especially during this harvest season will be resolved now since the repairing work of the dilapidated bridge has started.
He further lauded the MLA for assuring to repair the damaged planks of two other bailey bridges of Wangoo Lupa Marup and Wangoo Heinouyam for the well-being of the masses.
Further he appealed to the authorities concerned of the Government to replace the wooden planks of the above two bridges with iron planks for more stability and durability.
