Jiribam, March 16 2023:
Helicopter service between Imphal and Jiribam and vice-versa was suspended on Thursday due to the ongoing road blockade agitation launched by residents of four localities of Jiribam in denunciation of the government's alleged indifferent attitude to demand for development and proper maintenance of the roads including the approach road to Jiribam helipad.
Residents of Maheikhullen (Bidyanagar), Lamnoupokpi (Harinagar), Lamdang Khun (Uchathol) and Lamlen Khullen launched road blockade stir from Wednesday in protest against repairing of the road from Lamlong Keithel of Khuninghtek Leikai to Uchathol and approach road to Jiribam helipad, 50-bedded hospital and Jiri college.
Meanwhile, representatives of four clubs and Meira Paibi activitists of the localities informed the media that the road blockade stir will be intensified as the government has failed to give positive response.
The agitation, however, will be ex empted for fire service, electricity, media, religious ceremonies and medical emer gency, they informed media persons at Lamnoupokpi community hall.
