Imphal, April 10 2023:
Youth clubs of various villages located along NH-37 (Imphal-Jiribam) today blocked the highway at various locations between New Keithelmanbi and Kotlen village to protest the failure & negligence of NHIDCL to repair/ maintain the highway.
Speaking to media persons, a protestor stated that CMM Infraproject Ltd under NHIDCL was engaged for the construction of NH-37 within Package-2 .
He claimed that the work agency left the portion between New Keithelmanbi and Tintong Laijang village unattended for the past month causing health hazards and other issues to the villagers.
Another protestor informed that the blockade was lifted as proper notification was not served earlier.
"However, an indefinite blockage will begin from April 11 until the NHIDCL and authorities concerned begin construction of the road", he added.
