Imphal, December 15 2023:
The Joint Action Coordinating Committee (JACC) on NH-37 suspended the shutdown of the national highway following an understanding with NHIDCL during a joint meeting attended by JACC members, SP Imphal West, OC of Patsoi police station and NHIDCL general manager on Friday.
Informing this to the media, JACC convenor N Surjit said that they have decided to suspend the agitation for three months after the NHIDCL official gave assurance of commencing the road development project at the earliest.
The general manager also conveyed that the project has been stalled due to termination of the contract with the work agency Avantika, and assured of doing minor repairing until the corporation issues new tender and selects a new agency for executing the project.
However, N Surjit said, the JACC will resume the stir if NHIDCL does not translate its assurance into action within three months.
