Awang Sekmai Nongthombam Youth Club has cautioned of shutting down the 1km stretch of National Highway-02 leading to Sekmai Gas Bottling Plan, if repair works on the dilapidated road are not initiated at the earliest.
Issuing a statement in this regard, Club president L Dhana Singh stated that condition of the road stretch is filled with potholes and it is worsening at a rapid rate as the road is used daily by LPG bullet tankers and trucks carrying gas cylinders.
Although repeated requests have been made for repairing the road since 2020 to the then Works minister, local MLA and PWD chief engineer, no action has been taken up till date.
He then appealed to the chief minister and department concerned to repair the road by May 20, failing which intense agitations including closure of the road will be carried out.
