Imphal, April 29 2016 :
Tamenglong district headquarters remained cut off from the rest of the State since the last five days back as all telephone networks are down and roads are blocked at many places due to landslide.
Moreover, there has been no power supply to the district headquarters since April 15 .
Landslides have blocked the Tamenglong- Khongsang road and many vehicles remain stranded.
Some portions of the road at Namkaolong Part- II (Duigainam) have been found sinking and a crack of about 50-60 metres has developed.
Only one JCB of BRTF and few workers clearing the debris along Tamenglong- Khongsang road were come across during a joint inspection conducted by Joint Forum for Transport Welfare Association Tamenglong, Traders Association Tamenglong and media persons.
An agitation against the failure of the Government to look into the inconvenience of the people, spearheaded by Joint Forum for Transport Welfare Association Tamenglong, Traders Association Tamenglong has started.
The agitation include picketing Government offices, banning National projects and boycotting the MLAs of the district.
