Imphal, June 11 2013:
Decrying the apathy of local MLA and State Government towards repairing the deplorable Other Districts Road (ODR) of Keirao Bitra in Imphal East, the local clubs and organizations of Keirao have blocked the Imphal-Yairipaok Road for 48 hours starting from 4 am today.
The agitating volunteers of these clubs and organizations also burned effigies of MLA K Thamarjit and blocked the road by laying tree branches and burning tyres.
All vehicles were not allowed to pass through the Road.
Irilbung Police tried to clear the road, but the agitators outnumbered the police personnel.

President of Nongpok Ningthou Panthoibi Development Committee T Joy said that the local clubs and organizations of Keirao have repeatedly requested the local MLA and officials concerned to repair the deplorable ODR which is part of Imphal-Yairipok Road.
However, the MLA and officials have remained silent by ignoring the request of the people, he added.
He further claimed that former RD Minister Allauddin Khan had also not done anything to improve the condition of this deplorable road.
The Imphal-Yairipok Road was earlier blocked, but it was withdrawn after MLA Th Shyamkumar appealed to lift the blockade as the people from Andro Constituency were affected.
Later on, MLA Shyamkumar started to repair the road, but the local MLA Thamarjit raised objection to the work.
Joy said that intense agitations would be launched if the local MLA and officials concerned do not take up the repairing works of this road within 48 hours.
