Bishnupur, October 23 2022:
The development of a state is dependent on good road connectivity, Works minister Govindas Konthoujam has stated.
He was speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony of an RCC bridge along the Inter District Road connecting Nambol and Hiyangthang on Saturday.
Govindas said that a developed Manipur will be possible with the arrival of inclusive development under CM Biren's leadership.
As such, the highway expansion project is being carried out with much gusto.
When there is good connectivity, the living standard of the people will improve, thereby leading to the growth of the economy.
Thus, all of us have the responsibility in ushering in a developed Manipur, he remarked.
In his speech, former union minister Thounaojam Chaoba urged the government to complete the reconstruction of the 64-year-old bridge by March 2023, while further appealing to the authority to take up the road expansion work in the area to put an end to the rising number of road accidents.
The foundation laying ceremony was also attended by Education/Law and Legislative Affairs minister Th Basantakumar, PWD chief engineer Kh Temba, BJP Nambol Mandal president S Brajamani Singh, Nambol Municipal Council caretaker chairperson Ch Basanta Singh and others.
