A 20km stretch of road passing through Andro AC, Saikul AC and Lamlai AC from Maphou Dam to Napet Pali was repaired by Moirangpurel Area Local Truck Drivers Union with the help of about 250 Tata trucks.
Speaking to reporters, Moirangpurel Area Local Truck Drivers Union Advisor Ng Rantankumar said this stretch of road has been in a bad shape for a long period of time, making it difficult for people to commute.
To make travelling less painful, the truck drivers union took up the initiative to repair the road, he said.
He also conveyed gratitude to Andro AC MLA and Forest Minister Th Shyamkumar, Lamlai AC MLA Ksh Biren, local clubs/organizations, 182nd BSF Battalion CI Post, Tata Magic drivers and others who provided help to repair the road.
Ng Ratankumar also added that the 12km road from Maphou Dam to Laikoi had completed WBM stage but it has not been black-topped, thereby making movement of people and vehicles difficult.
Drawing attention of the concerned authority, he appealed to them to fix the road at
the earliest.
