Ukhrul, December 03 2008:
In the backdrop of the failure to implement construction of road that passes through the villages of Khamasom, Lunghar, Poi and Chingai in Ukhrul district, a joint meeting of Yang Raphei Conference (YRC), the JAC concerned and PWD officials was held at the office chamber of chief engineer PWD, Imphal today.
The president of YRC, Tuithing, informed that the department concerned has assured to resume the road construction work by 1st week of January 2009 during the meeting.
"In view of the assurance made by the chief engineer, we have agreed to reopen the office of PWD Ukhrul from Dec 3," the president said, adding, "YRC and the JAC concerned would however indulge into intensive form of agitation if the department concerned fails to keep its assurances".
The office of PWD Ukhrul has been closed down since November 14 following a protest launched by YRC against non-implementation of road construction work from Khamasom to Chingai village in Ukhrul district.
