Imphal, December 03 2015:
Imphal-Kangchup-Tamenglong Road Development Demand Committee, Haochong Centre and Land and Properties Owners' Welfare Association, Imphal-Kangchup-Tamenglong State Highway, Tamenglong have lauded the efforts of the State Government and Asian Development Bank (ADB) in realising the long cherished dream of the people of Tamenglong District HQs to connect the district headquarters with the State capital in the shortest route of less than 100 kms instead of the existing 145 kms distance via Khongsang road under ADB loan funding and for upgrading Khongsang-Tamenglong DHQ (39.50 kms) stretch to the status of a National Highway (NH 137) .
It may be recalled that during the Orange Festival of 2012, CM O Ibobi Singh had assured the people of connecting Tamenglong DHQs with Imphal through the shortest possible route.
Tamenglong district headquarters is widely known as the most backward and the farthest DHQs from Imphal and the promise of the Chief Minister has turned into a reality now, said the Committee.
