Imphal, July 14 2016:
An inter-village road from Phangrei to
Khamasom village has been badly damaged due
to landslide, reports Mungchan Zimik.
The road is a lifeline for around 10 vil-
lages under Yang Raphei.
Landslides have
occurred at three different places along the
said inter-village road thereby worsening the
road condition.
President of YRC Joy Horam said that
Yang Raphei villages have been enduring all
kinds of hardships especially during the
monsoon season.
Poi and Huishu villages have been facing
inconveniences while commuting and trans-
porting throughout the monsoon season
every year.
Therefore, the State Government
should construct a bridge over Wanji river to
ease the burden of the border villages.
According J Horam, the inter-village road
from Phangrei to Khamasom was constructed
in 1980 by the PWD.
Apart from clearing the landslides debris,
J Horam also urged the State Government to
initiate reparation work along the inter-village road.
