Imphal, October 22 2016:
A JAC consisting of members from 10 villages to supervise and monitor the implementation of road improvement work from New Heaven to Tolloi Junction via Lamlang Gate has been formed.
The road imporvement work is to be taken up by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, reported a statement issued by the general secretary of the JAC.
A sum of Rs 304.64 lakh has been sanctioned to prepare the feasibility study and detailed project report for the improvement of the mentioned road (from km 45 to km 73.62, covering a length of 29.62kms) .
Two consultancy firms M/S LRP consortium consultancy and Spectrum Techno-consultants Pvt.(JV) have been awarded the project.
The statement explained that the 28.62kms stretch of road has been neglected by the State Government for more than 2 decades, due to vote bank politics.
In order to revive the life-line of these 10 villages and to counteract the business-outsourcing culture of carrying out construction work through middle-men, the people organized this platform to achieve transparency and genuine development, informed the statement.
