The Saiton Area Hills and Valley Joint Action Committee on Social Reformation and Development along with the support local clubs started indefinite blocking of the 13 km long road from Phougakchao Ikhai to Kumbi Sandhong enroute Saiton urging the authorities concerned to repair the road at the earliest.
During the road blockade starting from Saiton Khunou till Salankonjil today, trees, benches were placed on the road and tyres were also burnt on the road and placards with slogans like 'No Road No Vote', 'Repair the road at the earliest' etc were used.
Speaking on the sidelines, one villager of Saiton Khunou said they resorted to road blockade since the authorities concerned have not taken up any measures to repair the road.
