Imphal, December 05 2016:
Residents of Andro have set a five day deadline for MLA Thounaojam Shyamkumar to fix the road between Ngaariyan Chingkhong and Andro Khoibu.
In a press meet organised by Andro Nagar Panchayat, All Andro Youths Club Association and Andro Meira Paibi Association at Andro bazar, Leishungbam Lukhoi, chairperson of the Nagar Panchayat, said that the people of Andro have set a five day deadline for the MLA to fix the aforementioned road.
He said that the 12 kilometres long stretch of road has been lying neglected after some initial work long time back and the dust is creating complications among the residents, mostly children.
People have also been injured by the stones kicked up by the tyres of vehicles plowing the road, he said.
Lukhoi also said that the number of people coming to Andro for sightseeing and vacation have decreased drastically as a result of the road condition.
He said," We do not know who the contractors or agencies are but the MLA of Andro AC should take up this responsibility and fix the road within five days" .
Speaking further he urged the individuals who lodged a complaint to the State Vigilance Commission regarding the road construction to stop bringing political perspective and agenda to the matter.
The people of Andro believe that construction of the road has been put on hold because of these complaints and would readily face whoever or whatever was meddling with the completion of the work, he added.
