Kangpokpi (Senapati), October 08 2015: The Kuki Students' Organization Sadar Hills today expressed its disappointment with the laxity of the State Government and the department concerned over the decrepit drainage system along Trans-Asian Highway No.1 .

Lamcha Chongloi, General Secretary, KSO Sadar Hills said that most of the drainage system along the Trans Asian Highway are in a crumbling state which causes the rain water to flood the highway adding to the misery of the people during rainy season.

The derelict drainage system along the highway within Hengbung village is the nastiest with the rain water overflowing from the drain of Hengbung � Beleijang PMGSY and flood the highway.

The water then floods Hengbung Govt.High School where it deposits large quantity of mud that forces the closure of the school, added Lamcha Chongloi.

He further said that the school has had to face such a situation during the rainy season which greatly imperil the academic pursuit of the students.

"We had already highlighted the matter to the the Addl Chief Engineer, PWD National Highway, and pointed out the various hardships, and misery encountered by the student community" said Lamcha Chongloi and added "we also requested him to construct pucca drain as the earliest to avoid further siltation of the school during rain" .

However, taking no notice of the student's miseries the department concerned has done nothing so far, alleged Lamcha Chongloi.

While stating that the student body has taken strong exception against the indifference of the State Government towards the plight of the students, Lamcha Chongloi said that same experience is being felt by students of Hengbung Govt High School due to the heavy rainfall for the past 2/3 days.

"We once again urge the PWD to swing into action without dithering a minute in the interest of the student community and urge the state Government to promptly initiate appropriate measures at the earliest," appealed Lamcha Chongloi.

Meanwhile, the student body has also warned that if the department concerned and State Government still neglect their plea they will resort to any form of agitation to draw the attention of the Government.
