Imphal, December 17 2025:
Rampant unregulated dumping of waste in the dead of the night has become a public menace posing serious risks to human health and the environment.
Since the past few weeks, The Sangai Express has been highlighting unregulated and improper waste disposal in many places across Imphal.
Today, this paper is bringing the attention of the public and Government authorities alike to the current sorry state of the Porompat DC Road.
Porompat DC road, as the name suggests, leads to the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Imphal East district and numerous other Government offices including the SP office, SDO, many schools and colleges.

A vital road for both Government officials and the public, but it has been turned into a dumping site with goats literally feeding on the waste scattered on the road-sides.
The road-sides at different sections are filled with decomposing vegetables, discarded meat, scales of fishes, chicken feathers and innards, and household wastes.
Piles of waste can be seen along the road and near the Central Dairy Farm.
According to locals, unknown people are dumping wastes at night time.
Unknown persons would come in their vehicles, cars and scooters, at night, and dispose of waste on the road-sides, they said.
There have been many efforts to clean and make the road a waste free zone.
During Khumanthem Diana's tenure as the DC Imphal East, the district administration and local clubs put in efforts to curb unregulated waste disposal in the area.
Then the DC had issued a notice banning disposal of waste on the road-sides.
However, in absence of a long term mechanism to monitor and check waste disposal, filths have once again returned filling the air with pungent smell.
Kshetrimayum Hemanta, a resident of Kongpal, said the rampant disposal of waste along the road has posed a serious risk to public health and the environment.
People are at risk of contracting diseases.
The decomposed waste may contaminate the soil and the environment and ultimately pose risk to the health of humans and animals, he said.
Locals and representatives of clubs in the surroundings have urged the district administration, the police and relevant departments to enforce strict rules to curb waste disposal on the sides of the roads.
