Imphal, March 20 2016:
The Zeliangrong Union (ZU)
has issued an office
memorandum categorically
declaring that no one should not
cause any hindrance/delay of
any sort to the upcoming dream
project of constructing Imphal-
Kangchup-Tamenglong road.
The ZU issued this
memorandum in reference to
a meeting reportedly called
by the Zeliangrong Youth
Front (ZYF) on March 28 at
Khumji Village Community
Hall where all village
khunbus/chairmen and mem-
bers of village authorities.
The main agenda of the
meeting is compensation
with regard to the Imphal-
Kangchup-Tamenglong road.
However, the ZU asserted
that the ZYF is irrelevant to
call such meeting on com-
pensation matter which is
none of its business.
The ADB-assisted project
of constructing Imphal-
Kangchup-Tamenglong road
which would be further ex-
tended to connect with
Mahur Railway Station (As-
sam) and the East-West
Corridor is going to open up
international road connectiv-
ity through the Zeliangrong
heartland.
People of Tamenglong
district have been waiting for
this dream project for the
past six decades.
The Land and Properties
Owners' Welfare Associa-
tion, Sadar Hills and
Tamenglong District (Imphal-
Kangchup-Tamenglong
ADB-Assisted Highway) has
been closely and actively co-
ordinating with Government
engineering departments/
ADB/construction agencies in
the best interest of the would-
be affected villagers, the ZU
added.
