Imphal, September 12 2023:
The Government has reportedly taken up a programme to repair potholes along select road stretches shortly.
According to sources at the Public Works Department (PWD), the road maintenance work will cover Nagamapal, Paona Keithel, MG Avenue, Keishampat and Mayai Lambi stretches and it may begin in a week's time.
The sources also said that the drains at MG Avenue will also be declogged very soon as excess water from the drains often disturbs the traffic movements along Kanglapat stretch and MG Avenue turning apart from inconveniencing the people living nearby.
It further said that a show cause notice has been sent to the contractor concerned to repair the portion of road along Chingmeirong stretch near Vishal mega mart as the road is still under defect liability period.
The sources at PWD continued that the NHIDCL has begun a tender process to carry out road maintenance work from Minuthong upto the gate of Imphal Airport by passing through Keishampat.
It is reported that a financial bid for the tender process has been opened and the work order may be issued soon.
