Imphal, January 14 2015:
Infuriated by the apparent failure of the concerned department to repair the Khagempali-Kwakeithel road which is lying in a dilapidated condition for the last many years, women's organizations and clubs of Khgempalli and Kwakeithel blocked the road indefinitely from Wednesday.
Interacting with newspersons, M Basanti, a woman resident lamented that locals had made requests repeatedly to the concerned department to blacktop the road stretch which is in deplorable condition but the same has not been done so far which is unacceptable.
She said that there have been instances where numerous accidents have taken place due to deplorable condition of the road stretch which needs immediate repair and construction.
She pointed out that the road-repair done in December last year was shoddy and below the required standard.
She also asserted that the road-block stir would continue unless the department ensure proper repair of the road within a stipulated time.
Women folks of Moirang Purel; Khagempali amd Nganappi Thong including club members of Khagem-pali and Kwakeithel are taking part in the road-block stir.
