In a statement, Wisecrabs alleged, "For a long time, the people of Chandel have suffered the pathetic condition of the Pallel-Chandel road, a declared highway connecting Chandel with the rest of Manipur.

Occasional repair works are done on the road, which are unfortunately, mere hogwash to the public.

The recent announcement of CM on the proposed repair work by NHIDCL has filled Chandel with optimism and work at the earliest is eagerly awaited" .
