Imphal, December 19 2013:
With the State Government failing to repair the worn out Koirengei-Leikinthabi road for quite a long time despite repeated requests, Koirengei Awang Khungang Mapal Chaokhat Committee along with public started repairing the deplorable road stretch from yesterday.
Talking to media in this regard, Premkumar Chingakham, secretary of the committee, stated that due to lack of quality in blacktopping, potholes and cracks have been appeared along the road, thus leading frequent road accidents.
Taking into account the deplorable condition of the road, the committee in its meeting held on December 11 decided to repair the road portion without waiting for government intervention.
He pointed out that plying of heavy vehicles along the road on regular basis has led to its present deplorable condition.
But as the Government has not heeded to the repeated appeals for repairing the road, the Committee with the support of the public have started repairing the road.
All the necessary materials like stones, bricks, vehicles and other materials have been contributed by people of the locality.
