Imphal, July 19 2011:
Peeved with the failure of the authority concerned to pay any attention to deteriorated portions of Tinsid Road from Tinsid hills to Kangu Chingjil Khunou for the last many years, local people closed the road to all passenger vehicles today.
The protest agitation of closing the road was undertaken after the deadline set for repairing the dilapidated portion of the road expired yesterday.
Earlier, the Sanjenbam Magic Association, Takhel To Imphal DI and Magic Owners Transport Cooperative Limited and the local people have appealed repeatedly to the authority concerned through media to repair the said road stretch but to no avail.
The local people and the two transport associations have decided to close the road to all kinds of vehicles with effect from tomorrow.
However, medical and religious services would be exempted from the purview of the bandh, they said.
