Imphal, September 02 2010:
Paving the way for the proposed Nambul River Naga Nullah Project as well as to ease the traffic snarls witnessed everyday, demolition work along Wahengbam Leikai has started from today.
To facilitate smooth progress of the work, the road was blocked to traffic from the southern side today.
Talking to newsmen at the side of the inaugural function of the Leirak Hidel Thong, a bridge constructed over Sekmai river at an estimated cost of Rs 204.27 lakhs under SPA to connect Kakching Khullen Turel Wangma with Kakching Khullen Laithagol Leikai, Works Minister K Ranjit Singh dwelt at length on the difficulties faced in Manipur while taking up any project.

Construction work on the 40 metre long and 7.50 metre wide RCC bridge began in March 2008 .
For long, people of Kakching Khullen Turel Wangma had to take a longer route covering a distance of around 5 kilometres for going to neighbouring places like Kakching Khullen Laithagol Leikai, Laithagol Makha Leikai, Laithagol Mayai Leikai, etc.
With the bridge now opened, the distance would be shortened.
K Ranjit said that despite its miniscule size the disturbances taking place in Manipur are just too many.
So, not a single project can be completed in time.
At the time of issuing work order any developmental work, there is undue pressure from all quarters and the engineers are being threatened and their houses attacked with bombs.
At the occasion of inaugurating and dedicating the bridge to the people, MLA of Kakching A/C Y Surchandra, MLA M Hemanta, MLA Loken, Chief Engineer of PWD and other officials of the Department were also present.
