Imphal, December 18 2020:
Tamenglong Village Students Federation (TVSF) demanded the State Government to construct Tamenglong Haflong Road on the basis of old alignment (known as Gupta Alignment) instead of working on the basis of new alignment.
Addressing a press meet held today at Nagaram TVSF convenor Gaicinlung R Panmei claimed that the old alignment (Gupta Alignment) is the original drawn in line with the Tamenglong Tousem Highway.
He further said that villagers of Tamenglong have generously offered their land for the construction of highway in the interest of common utility.
However, the Tamenglong Haflong Road has been constructed thereby ignoring the old alignment and on the basis of a new alignment which was drawn in total disregard to the offer made by the villagers of Tamenglong, he added.
Stating that a memorandum had already been submitted to the State Government in this regard, the TVSF convenor questioned why the State Government has not given any response to the memorandum.
He cautioned that serious repercussions may arise out of the Government's ignorance on people's voice.
