Imphal, April 22 2015 :
The angry villagers of Keirao have threatened to launch agitations if the public works department shall not repair the breached hanging bridge within April 30 .
The people's agitations will be launched from May 1 onwards.
This was announced by MI Khan of the Trinamool Congress to reporters on Wednesday.
He said that the hanging bridge was constructed in 1962.For all practical purposes the bridge was never repaired.
It may be recalled that the iron cables had snapped on Tuesday nearly killing three persons including a woman who were crossing the bridge in a car.
As local residents rushed out all of them were rescued.
The hanging bridge has been the only means of communication between the two villages on the either side of the Iril river.
