Imphal, November 27 2014:
The Highway Truck Owners' Welfare Organisation (HTOWO) urged all concerned stake holders to contribute their mite towards improvement of NH-37 (Imphal-Jiri) .
Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, spokesperson of HTOWO suggested that the name National Highway 37 should be changed to Manipuri local road unless the Central as well as the Manipur Govt fail to repair the highway at the earliest.
The HTOWO spokesperson also urged student organisations and CSOs concerned to press the Central Govt to improve NH-37 .
Pointing out that people have lost trust on BRO as it reportedly failed to repair the highway after Rs 41 crore was sanctioned for the purpose in 1998-99, HTOWO demanded that the highway improvement work be entrusted to the State PWD instead of the BRO.
