Imphal, May 13 2016 :
A reception cum thanksgiving function was held today at Longmai Ground in commemoration of upgradation of Noney (Longmai) as an SDO/TD Block by the Congress Government.
Speaking at the gathering as chief guest, Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam asserted that Tamenglong would evolve as the most developed district of the State in the next 10 years.
Stating that some elements who do not want development to take place in the district have been carrying out all kinds of subversive activities, Gaikhangam called upon all the people of Tamenglong district not to let themselves fall victims to such sinister designs.
The Government has already succeeded in installing minimum infrastructure in Tamenglong district.
Even though a large number of development projects were lined up for the hill districts, many of them could not be implemented on account of imposing a plethora of 'criteria'.
Even if they do not fulfil all the criteria, Longmai and Haochong sub-divisions would be opened soon.
Tamenglong district will have seven sub-divisions shortly, Gaikhangam asserted.
Tamenglong district would have the highest railway bridge in the world and this would ensure incessant inflow of tourists.
People of Tamenglong should ensure that they ensure commendable hospitality to all tourists and visitors.
The Jiribam-Tupul railway project could not be completed by 2014 on account of frequent disturbances from UG groups, civil society organisations and anti-social elements, he said.
Tamenglong district would certainly see dramatic changes once the railway project is completed.
There are some people who cannot tolerate development of Tamenglong and Manipur.
People should be always wary of such elements, Gaikhangam stated.
He suggested that collection/extortion of money out of development projects would be more beneficial to the collectors/extortionists if done within limits.
