Imphal, May 24 2015 :
It has been revealed that the ongoing widening work on the stretch of National Highway-102 from Lilong to Ushoipokpi in Thoubal district has been carried out without following the prescribed work manual maintained by the State Public Works Department (PWD) .
Instead of hard earth, soft and loose earth is being used in the road expansion by totally ignoring the set work manual, a highly placed source informed on Sunday.
Neither work order has been processed nor has tender process been officially done for the contract work for which no due sanction order has been issued.
"It has not followed the due procedure" .

The unsanctioned road improvement work which requires pumping in millions of rupees is not naming its contractor.
It appears that the State Government is fully accountable for this 'illegal work,' the sources claimed.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the nodal agency responsible for building, upgrading and maintaining most of the national highways network.
It operates under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
The National Highways Development Project (NHDP) is a major effort to expand and upgrade the network of highways.
NHAI often uses a public-private partnership model for highway development, maintenance and toll-collection.
However, it seems the BJP Government at the Centre is reluctant to put a halt to the 'unofficial' road widening work for reasons no one knows, they said.
