Imphal, January 11 2014 :
Registering protest against Government's lackadaisical attitude shown towards their demand for repairment of the inter-village road connecting Uchathol and Leishabithol, irate locals imposed a blockade of all types of vehicles on the dilapidated road from today.
As the road serves as an important route for transportation of materials for Jiribam-Imphal railway project, the blockade is likely to affect construction of railway line.
UJKL Road Development Committee Convenor Y Romen said that people of the area have been requesting the Government to repair the road but to no avail.
Romen said that many vehicles of Coastal Project Ltd, BIPL, Ready, NF railway, Police Housing, Medical, 7th Bn IRB, 115th Bn BRTF and CRPF are also plying on the road everyday.
