In a statement, the representatives of the local clubs and meira paibis said 'The NH 37 construction between Khumbong and New Keithelmanbi has been going on for almost one year.
Many portions of the highway are not even leveled after scraping, thereby causing a lot of difficulties in movement for school going children, ailing persons and pregnant women' .
The statement further maintained that people residing on both sides of the highway are facing many difficulties because of the dusty road.
The local organisations and meira paibis expressed discontent that there is no progress in the construction activities despite repeated requests to National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) and written commitment given by the AVANTIKA (Contractor) .
To protest this indifferent attitude of NHIDCL and the Contractor, the local clubs and meira paibis resolved to impose indefinite bandh from 4 am of February 23, 2023 on NH 37 .
In view of the above, the public has been requested to cooperate and plan their journey accordingly.
