Villagers of Heirok Litan Wangma on Thursday staged protest over non-completion of construction of the Heirok Litan RCC Bridge which was damaged due to flooding during its initial stage of construction.
Speaking to the media, some women protesters pointed out that the Bridge used to be an important link for villagers of Heirok Litan Wangma and outlying villages of Tengnoupal district.
While expressing strong resentment that the incumbent Heirok MLA has been ignoring plight of the villagers, the protesters also recounted that the contractor and officials of department concerned had given promise to complete construction of the bridge by September this year.
However, the assurance is yet to be translated into action till date thereby leaving the villagers in dire condition, they informed.
The protesters called for immediate interference of the local MLA and do the needful to complete the construction at the earliest.
