Imphal, August 16, 2012:
Villagers of Choither village in Ukhrul district today staged a public rally reacting against new construction of a road instead of the sanctioned repairing work of NH 150 at Choither village area.
Speaking to reporters, President of Veikhang Development Front, Pwungnoongam Kasar said that the work package was sanctioned in 2008 to repair the highway at Choither area.
However, a new road was constructed through the agricultural tracts instead of the existing highway for which the repairing order was sanctioned.
Drawing the attention of the concerned department, the rallyists demanded the government to look into the matter and bring out the truth at the earliest possible.
