Imphal, January 28 2023:
Local residents of Patsoi Part 3 blocked NH 37 (Imphal Jiribam highway) for a brief period as part of their protest demanding early renovation/repairing of the road on Saturday.
Large number of womenfolk of the locality came out and blocked the national highway by piling up boulders on Saturday at around 4 pm.
They said that the present condition of the highway has severely affected the quality of life of the people living in the area and the dusty road is also posing health risk to the people.
They demanded the authority concerned to complete the renovation of the highway at the earliest.
Later, a team of Patsoi police came and talked with the protestors.
Consequently, the authority was forced to sprinkle water as a temporary solution to the dusty road after which the protestors agreed to withdraw their stir.
