Decrying undue interference from one armed group to the developmental activities of the 4-km long road connecting Hiyanglam Hiranmei and Arong Khunou (Dabalongkhong), local people staged protest demonstrations at two different places today.
The demonstrations were staged at the community hall of HiyanglamHiranmei and the market shed of Arong Khunou (Dabalongkhong) .
The demonstrations were organised under the aegis of Hiyanglam Hiranmei Apunba Meira Paibi Lup and Arong Khunou & Laphupat Tera Apunba Nupi Lup.
The protestors informed that progress of road development work being taken up with funding from the Special Plan Assistance since last week of March this year has been delayed on account of undue interference from a UG group.
It may be noted here that the development of the 4-km long road connecting Hiyanglam Hiranmei and Arong Khunou (Dabalongkhong) is to be taken up at an estimated cost of Rs 2 crores with funding from the Special Plan Assistance of 2008-2009 .
Along with releasing a part of the fund from the total sanctioned amount, the first phase of the work had begun in March this year.
