Imphal, April 03 2015 :
Villagers of Keirao Bitra have expressed dismay with the authorities over not fulfilling promises for repairing the deplorable road that runs through the village.
Speaking to Hueiyen Lanpao, irate villagers informed that during the run up to the last Lok Sabha elections, some people claiming to be from the Congress had promised repairing the road.
They said the road which was 3 and half km long runs near along the Eastern side of Iril River and can reach Urup Arapti on the Western side of the river.
The road leads to important destinations within the Keirao Assembly Constituency, informed the villagers while stating that the road which was repaired 13 years ago by the Government of Manipur has been left without drawing any attention of the responsible department.
The villagers also claimed that the "contractor" who has reportedly engaged to repair the road had disappeared after leaving behind 24 barrels of bitumen meant for black topping the road which was in a deplorable condition.
