Imphal, January 02 2015 :
With the authorities concerned unable to repair the road leading to Sekmai LPG bottling plant from Imphal-Dimapur highway within December, the Awang Sekmai Nongthonband Youth Club has closed the approach road since January 1 .
Following closure of the IVR, around 38 trucks/tankers have been stranded on the highway and inside the bottling plant.
The youth club declared on December 16 that they would close the road if repairing work was not initiated within the month of December.
The road has not been repaired ever since it was black topped in 2002 .
In the meantime, the road's condition has been deteriorating day by day due to movement of heavy trucks thereby posing health hazards to people of surrounding areas.
The road was blocked twice in the month of May last year too on the same demand that it be repaired.
