Chairman of Longdi Parbam Village Authority and President of Village Authority Chairmen Council VACC), Tamenglong district Athanbou Pamei expressed his disappointment over delay in the construction of road from Tamenglong to Longdi Pabram village.
The construction of 29-kilometre-long stretch from Tamenglong to Longdi Parbam called 'Peace & Friendship Road' was announced by former Union Home Secretary GK Pillai.
However, the road construction has not been started by the authorities concerned till date.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, Athanbou Pamei said that the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has already given clearance for construction of the road on January 16 this year.
But, the work has not been executed till date even after obtaining the necessary clearance.
He questioned why the road construction could not be started even if the work has been handed over to Border Road Organisation (BRO) .
While appealing to authorities concerned to take up necessary action to begin construction of the road at the earliest, Athanbou Pamei warned that Longdi Parbam village along with Village Authority Chairmen Council (VACC) Tamenglong district and Village Chairman Association Tamenglong would investigate and take up appropriate course of agitation to press their demand.
