Imphal, December 13 2023:
Locals of Singjamei Makha Khongnangpheidekpi under Langthabal assembly constituency have started repairing the dilapidated roads and bylanes on their own as authority concerned remains indifferent to the plight for a protracted period.
As conditions of the bylanes and inter-village roads in Singjamei Makha Khongnangpheidekpi have worsened, locals started laying stone-pebbles through contribution and donation of the generous residents.
Most of roads and bylanes in Langthabal AC are in bad shape and often get inundated whenever there is rainfall thereby causing serious inconvenience to movement of people while dust fills the locality during the dry spell.
However, roads and bylanes in the neighbouring localities falling under Singjamei AC are well-maintained with proper black-topping.
People who use the roads in the two assembly segments often make fun of the locals On witnessing bad conditions of roads in Langthabal AC.
Condition of the road along the Imphal river bank too has worsened with daily commuters particularly students not only encountering inconvenience but also facing risk of meeting accident.
From early Wednesday morning, locals started laying construction materials along the road stretch locally known as Ningombam Mandap in Singjamei Makha Khongnangpheidekpi.
If the locals complete repairing of the road on their own, the remaining portions of the route would be prone to inundation.
As such, the locals urged the department concerned to look into the matter and initiate steps for repair the entire road stretch.
