Imphal, September 22 2015:
BJP Kuilong Segment, Tamei Mandal has said that Kuilong area in Tamenglong has been living under abject poverty with deplorable infrastructure due to Government's apathy.
In a statement, the party said that Kuilong area comprises of 20 villages and it is located in the northern part of Tamei sub-division.
In the east, Nagaland's Peren district is located.
Kuilong areas have an SDC office, which was inaugurated in 1994 by the then DC of Tamenglong, Sambhu Singh in the presence of ID Dijuanang, the then MLA of Tamei AC, the statement said.
Nevertheless, the office does not function due to lack of infrastructure and bad road condition.
As a result, till today Kuilong area remains as the most backward area in the hill areas of Manipur.
People live even without proper basic facilities such as road/connectivity, electricity and education.
Moreover, many patients die on their way to hospital before getting any medical treatment due to pathetic road condition, the statement said.
The 55 km long lifeline road of Kuilong area connecting Tamei Hqs is in a horrible condition and it can be used during winter season only.
As such, people live with immense hardships during monsoon season.
Although, the area has rich natural resources, people are still living with abject poverty as these resources could not be sold to the outside world due to miserable road condition.
Stating that most people are illiterate as there is no education facilities, the statement said that there is not even a single Government and private high school in Kuilong area.
The step-motherly treatment particularly by the Government has created a huge development gap between Kuilong and rest of the State.
BJP Kuilong unit also appealed to the Government of Manipur and local MLA of Tamei AC and ADC members from Northern Tamei Area to bring developments to this most neglected area.
Also, urged to restore the existing SDC office at the earliest which is imperative and a long awaited dream of the public.
