Imphal, June 03 2014:
Reiterating that no substantial step has been taken up by the government over the collapse of RCC bridges at Leisang Hiden, Kyamgei Pal Ahanbi and Keirao Litan Makhong in which several villagers were left injured while trying to cross the bridges, the Educational Development & Health Promotion Council (EDAHPCO) has imposed a 48-hour bandh along the Yairipok-Moreh road with effect from June 12 .
Announcing this in a press release, the council said it had already submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister in this regard and also urged the local MLA and Works Minister to initiate necessary action against those involved in construction of the sub-standard bridges.
But as no positive response has been received, the Council has been compelled to come up with the bandh call.
