Villagers repair State-highway

Imphal, July 22 2016 :
Several villagers along the Chura-Sugnu road
contributed their own resources and assistance
to repair the State-highway that has been virtu-
ally abandoned by the State Government for the
past several years, reports our correspondent.
Rengkai-Saikot stretch, a road that was of
repeated subject of pursuit for politicians but
rarely materialised was repaired by the vil-
lagers after their pursuit for assistance
proved futile.
'The villagers have extended their assist-
ance and the village authority has bought
three RCC cylinders from their own pockets
to replace the damaged ones,' said one of the
village authority members of Muolvaiphei
village.
Chura-Sugnu road is not fit to be de-
scribed as a highway as it is literally draped
with mud.
Be it from the zero point opposite
to Churachandpur PS or the tail end of the
road in Sugnu, it resembles a river-side
quarry, the village authority member said.
Village authority members of the area said
they have sought help of their elected repre-
sentatives as well as the district
administration but claimed that they advised
them to contact the PWD.
The PWD too
expressed their helplessness due to lack of
fund.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner
has today inaugurated an iron foot-bridge
constructed over Lanva river.
