Mud from tractor tyres adorn roads

Imphal, November 03 2025:
With the paddy harvesting season on, piles of mud and earth brought up by tractor tyres have started adorning roads and these mud and earth have become a potential cause for road accidents.
In the previous years, Deputy Commissioners issued orders asking tractor drivers to remove mud and earth attached to tractor tyres before reaching public roads.
The DCs also issued orders not to thresh paddy in the middle of
the roads.
But no such orders have been seen this year.
Meanwhile, citizens have been suffering because of lack of civic sense on the part of some people and the authority's failure to look into such matters.

Large lumps of mud are seen strewn on Imphal-Moreh highway from Waithou to Thoubal Haokha and Wangbal to Wangjing.
Likewise, lumps of earth and mud brought up by tractor tyres from paddy fields are seen strewn on many important roads and highways.
These lumps of earth and mud have become a cause of road accidents specially to two-wheeler riders.
Local clubs and organisations are also paying little attention to this matter.
Some people operating public transport service on Imphal-Moreh highway told The Sangai Express that the risks and inconveniences caused by earth and mud on National Highways and other important roads during the paddy harvesting season is not something new.
They said that two-wheeler riders may face grave danger if they accidentally move over these lumps of mud and earth.
Even after they are flattened by passing vehicles, the inconveniences caused by mud and earth do not end there.
They become a source of volumes of dust as they get dry, the drivers said.
Moreover, in areas where paddy fields are water-logged or wet, some farmers thresh paddy on roads.
The farmers might have no other option but it causes severe inconveniences to the public.
They said that the inconveniences faced by the public will be ameliorated to a great extent if tractor drivers are a little sensible and responsible.
It is neither too strenuous nor time consuming to remove the mud and earth attached to tractor tyres before they hit public roads, the public transporters said.
