Imphal, July 18 2017:
People of Ningomthong Sairom Leirak have closed the road indefinitely on the ground that heavy water tankers and water carrying vehicles plying continuously have caused significant damage to the road .
Meira Paibi Lups of Ningomthong Sairom Leirak, Lilando Lampak, Kha Ningomthong and Feija Leitong closed the road from around 12.30 pm today and also dug trenches along the road thus preventing vehicles from using the said road .

According to the locals, there are around five to six private water supply firms at the locality including Okram Water Supply .
The different water carrying vehicles including Tata Magic and others are often a source of traffic jams as they use the road continuously and as such pose great inconveniences to the locals .
Further the excess water which spill from these vehicles have gradually damaged the road, the locals complained .
The people of the locality have urged the private water supply firms to take up necessary precautionary measures to decrease the effect on the road but to no avail and as a result the once good road has been reduced to a muddy and congested road .
The people also pointed out that the local MLA and Works Minister Th Biswajit had assured to repair the road but has not been able to take up proper repair work due to the constant traffic of water tankers and as a result the road has been closed indefinitely .
The people also expressed discontent with the State Government and the local MLA for failing to take up necessary steps to ease the inconveniences of the people.
