Imphal, April 21 2024:
Lamdeng Khunou, Taothong Khunou, Lamsang Apunba Nupi Lup and Club jointly blocked the old bridge of Luwang-ee along the Uripok-Kangchup road and the road at Lamdeng Khunou Mamang Leikai on Sunday, demanding authority concerned to complete construction of the bridge and repair the Lamdeng Khunou road.
The protestors piled up roads, tree branches and also sat on the road as part of the protest.
Speaking on the sidelines, one Ranibalana reasoned that the people were forced to carry out Sunday's protest after authority concerned failed to take up any action despite repeated requests.
Though the protest was called off after PWD, Manipur project director cum chief engineer (EAP) Yumnam Joykumar Singh assured to repair the road soon, she cautioned of launching intense agitations if no action is taken up at the earliest.
