Imphal, May 05 2014:
With the Government going back on its assurances and taking up no initiative to develop the approach road, the aggrieved local residents have resumed blocking of the Nongthonban road leading to the Sekmai Gas Bottling Plant.
Talking to media persons in this connection today, members of Sekmai Nongthonban Youth Club made it clear that no talk will be entertained with the government until and unless the latter takes up repairing and construction of the road as promise.
They informed that on April 12, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister M Okendro had given verbal assurances on completing the necessary construction work by April 19 .
Accordingly, the Club agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) .
As there was no sign of any construction work even after the deadline, a reminder was sent to the Minister on April 26.But the Minister has not given any response, the Club members lamented.
