Imphal, January 22 2024:
The All India Trade Union Congress, Manipur State Committee (AITUC/MSC) has appealed to the State Government to reconsider the plan for construction of a mechanised rotary parking at Ima Keithel, Irabot Road.
In a release, AITUC informed that the Imphal Smart City Limited issued a notice on October 10, 2023 inviting tender for construction of mechanised rotary parking in four different locations namely Nagamapal (near Kasturi Bridge), Ima Keithel (Irabot Road), near Sanjenthong bridge and Secure Building (North AOC) .
Pointing out that Ima Keithel, Irabot Road, is one of the most congested hub in the Imphal City with more than 78 business plots and thousands of residents, AITUC said that the construction of mechanised rotary parking in the area will greatly impact residents and business in the area.
"Though the plan to build mechanised rotary parking for two & three wheeler vehicles is a good initiative, the State Government should conduct a survey to find a more feasible & suitable site for the construction", it added.
AITUC also mentioned that building a mechanised rotary parking in the area would lead to unwanted problems and diminish the historical significance of the road which is named after Lamyanba Hijam Irabot.
"In this regard, a written complaint was also submitted to the MAHUD Minister, MAHUD Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer of Imphal Smart City Limited on January 18 to change the location for the construction from Ima Keithel, Irabot road", it added.
AITUC further appealed to the authorities concerned to change the proposed site from Ima Keithel, Irabot Road and find a more feasible location for construction of the mechanised rotary parking.
