Ukhrul, June 06 2020:
Rising to the need of the time, despite the Nationwide lockdown, Ukhrul MLA Alfred Kanngam has started the process of restoring the pathetic road connecting the villages on the extreme eastern border with Ukhrul district headquarters.
The conditions of the roads have been made worse by the heavy rain.
The villages come under Sahampung block and they include Kachouphung, Phungtha, Khayang, Chammu, Hangou Kaphung, Roni and Matiyang.
The PMGSY road that runs between Shirui village and Kachouphung via Mapum is vital as essential commodities are taken through this route.

The already dilapidated PMGSY road was battered by the recent heavy downpour and different places along the stretch between Shirui and Mapum were washed by the heavy downpour.
The absence of drainage and retaining wall has only aggravated the situation.
After learning about the deplorable road condition, the MLA started deploying heavy machineries and excavators and has started clearing the debris, filled the sunken portions and expanded some portions of the road to make it motorable.
Convenor of the local villages, Soreishang informed that the local MLA started the road restoration work after seeing the difficulties faced by the villagers while transporting commodities for their daily needs.
The MLA has also arranged a separate community quarantine centre at Shirui village for the returnees of the adjoining villages.
People of the villages have also expressed gratitude to MLA Leishiyo Keishing for donating rice, dal and other essential items for the quarantine centre.
