Imphal, April 23 2023:
Total blockade will be imposed on the New Keithelmanbi to Tintong Laijing village portion of the National Highway-37 from April 24 until and unless NHIDCL resumes construction works, said three local clubs of the area today.
In a joint statement, KYC, SLYC and TMYC said the portion of the Highway between New Keithel- manbi and Tintong Laijing village (work package-II) is causing great inconveniences to the people including school children.
The road is dusty and is posing health hazard to the people.
While National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) had agreed to begin construction work within a week during a meeting on April 11, the work is yet to be started, said the clubs.
The decision to impose the total blockade was taken on April 18 and the clubs have decided to go ahead with the decision.
The total blockade from April 24 will remain enforced until NHIDCL begins construction work on the section of the road, they said.
