Imphal, January 15 2014 :
Works and Transports Minister Dr Kh Ratankumar has informed that the deplorable Barak and Makru bridges along Imphal-Jiribam Road (NH-37) would be repaired by the State Government in association with Transporters and Drivers Council (TDC) within this week.
He told media persons while inspecting the two bridges along with the officials of State PWD and representatives of TDC on January 13 and 14 .
Minister Ratankumar further said that the BRO has been entrusted with the task of maintaining the roads and bridges along National Highway No.37, but its working style is far beyond satisfaction.
The State Government and TDC have decided to repair the Barak and Makru bridges in view of the problems faced by the drivers along this highway, especially during monsoon season.
The BRO cannot be relied upon for repairing the bridges, he added.
