Imphal, March 15 2023:
The Lepaona Naga Union has urged the Public Works Department to repair the collapsed Barak Bailey Bridge near Koide Besho and restore connectivity of Maram-Purul Road.
A statement issued by Lepaona Naga Union shared that the Barak Bailey Bridge had collapsed on November 22, 2022, cutting off connectivity to Maram-Purul Road.
To ease mobility, the villagers constructed a temporary detour route passing through privately owned paddy fields.
However, with the coming of monsoon season, the landowners have blocked the detour route to start their agricultural activities.
This has cut-off road connectivity for more than 27 Poumai Naga villages and caused them immense hardship in commuting and connecting to the market and office in the process, the statement added.
As such, the Lepaona Naga Union has called upon the Public Works Department to look into this matter and restore connectivity of Maram-Purul Road.
