Imphal, April 29 2017:
Local people have reportedly banned development work of Imphal-Ukhrul road after newly laid bitumen layer broke apart near Hundung junction.
Speaking to media persons at Congress Bhavan here today, Manipur Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (MPYCC) president Amir Hussain said that MPYCC appreciates the additional investment made by the State Government for development of hill areas.
Additional funds were invested in hill areas when Congress party was in power too.
A number of villages were connected by roads, he said.
The economic package of Rs 201 crore announced by Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren for Ukhrul district was commendable.

As a part of the package, main roads of Ukhrul district headquarters were repaired but the bitumen layer which was laid anew started breaking apart near Hundung junction thereby indicating total negligence of the qualitative aspect of the same work by the authority concerned, Amir Hussain remarked.
The officials supervising the road development work deserve punishment and the contractor(s) concerned should be black listed.
Suspension of two officials for not completing Imphal sewerage project while turning a blind eye to the Ukhrul incident only exposes the Government's indifference to the problems of hill areas, he charged.
It is a matter of serious concern that the road development work has been banned by denizens of Ukhrul district headquarters.
Contractors should not be allowed to swindle funds sanctioned for development of hill districts, Amir Hussain added.
