Imphal, October 26:
After 10 years of negligence by the Government and its authorities concerned, construction and repairing of the deplorable road from Imphal to Saikul in accordance to the need of the time has begun from today.
Commencing the work on the 33-km long Inter-Stateroad, stone chips have been laid today along the road stretch from Pangei to Sagolmang.
MLA of Khundrakpam Assembly Constituency Thokchom Lokeshore personally inspected the road construction work.
Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the inspection, the MLA informed that the commuters along the said road have been enduring lot of difficulties as the Government has not repaired and maintained the road properly for the last many years.
But he had put pressures on the Government for doing the needful and finally the construction/repairing work of the road began from
today.
For the first phase of the work, the road would be repaired from Pangei to Sagolmang and in the second phase from Sagolmang to Saikul with the target of completing the work before the onset of next rainy season, he informed.
However, he went on to add that in this prevailing law and order situation, taking up developmental work is really hard task.
He also appealed to all concerned not to give any sort of hindrance in smooth implementation of the developmental programmes and policies of the Govt.
