Imphal, September 29 2021:
Expressing discontentment over the bad shape of the Tumukhong to Meitei Nongdam Lamkhai stretch of Maphou Dam Road in Andro assembly constituency, Tumukhong Apunba Meira Paibi has warned of digging up the road if the road repairing project, for which work order had already been awarded, does not begin within one week.
During an assessment of the road on Wednesday, Meira Paibi secretary Sadokpam Pratima said that the Maphou Dam Road is an important link not only for the people of the area but also for people in other districts since it connects Imphal East, Kangpokpi and Ukhrul districts.
However, the Tumukhong to Meitei Nongdam Lamkhai stretch of the road is in a very bad shape and dotted with large potholes.
Due to the poor condition of the road, it now takes twice the time to cover the distance.
People are facing severe hardships, especially in times of medical emergency.
They have made repeated requests for repairing the road but the project has not started till date even though the department had already issued the work order, she said, while demanding the government to hand over the work order to the Meira Paibi so that they can begin the work.
