Imphal, August 07 2017:
People residing around Wangjing Keithel and vendors , shopkeepers of Wangjing-Lamding Keithel conducted a public meeting at the Keithel and adopted many resolutions regarding the expansion of National Highway 102 (Imphal-Moreh road) .
The meeting stated that the former State Government had expanded the NH by 50 ft each on both sides of the Keithel area, encroaching many buildings including the multi marketing complex and added that the new State Government has decided to expand the highway 62 ft each on both sides .
Considering the small landscape of the Wangjing-Lamding Keithel , it resolved to urge the State Government to expand the road by only 50 feet each on the mentioned area even if it is necessary to expand the road by 62 feet on each sides at other areas of the Trans National Highway .
The meeting further resolved to launch a series of agitation if their appeal is not heard and urged for the construction of a temporary market shed for the vendors during the expansion of the road .
It also adopted to form a committee for women vendors, shopkeepers and locals of the area.
