Imphal, March 21 2013:
Denouncing alleged lack of initiative by the Government of Manipur to complete the pending sewerage project along Watham Leirak as well as demanding repairing (black-topping) of Yumnam Leikai road, under Thangmeiband Assembly Constituency, locals have prohibited plying of heavy vehicles in these localities with immediate effect.
The local residents also insisted that Government take up relevant measures within three days failing which all forms of vehicular movement would be prohibited in the areas.
According to Thangmeiband Improvement Club general secretary Elangbam Tomba a sit-in demonstration staged at Lilasing Khongnangkhong on March 16 had asked the Government to resume sewerage project works for expeditious completion of the pending works along with the demand that relevant measures be undertaken to repair the badly damaged roads in Yumnam Leikai within March 30 .
However, despite the project affected locals highlighted their woes there is no positive response to the genuine demands thereby compelling the locals to prohibit heavy vehicles from plying in the said areas with immediate effect.
