Government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been projecting Moreh as a key economic gateway of India vis-a-vis the Act East Policy.
But there has been neither infrastructure development for commercial purposes nor development of civic amenities at Moreh during the last 15 years.
Moreh Hospital has an operation theatre but presently it is not functioning.
There are no specialist doctors due to absence of proper official quarters.
They used to stay at rented houses or hotels, Sokhopao said.
With the Hospital not functioning properly at present, Moreh denizens have been suffering from inaccessibility to modern health care facility and many of them have died as they could not get timely medical treatment.
Sokhopao went on to claim that all these problems and grievances of Moreh denizens would be effectively addressed if BJP comes to power in Manipur.
Tangsei Haokip, president of Moreh BJP local committee, R Hmingtea secretary, Lamkhahoi Baite president Mahila Morcha of Tenoupal Mandal, Daniel Mate, president KSO Tengnoupal, Tinthyang Haokip, president BSP Thangkholen Mate, chief of Tengnoupal and various leaders of Moreh were also present during the press meet.
