Thereafter, construction work had barely started with machines for pile excavation being brought to the construction site, when the process was halted due to unstable weather conditions and the ongoing crisis in Manipur.
He also underscored the pathetic condition of the suspension bridge connecting Keibung Wangma and Leishangthem Kelimakhong while adding that large portions of the bridge had collapsed making it unsafe for travel.
Stating that this suspension bridge used to serve as a lifeline for the people of Khekman, Keibung, Nungei and Leishangthem, he stressed its degradation has caused a lot of difficulties for the public.
Thus, he appealed to the relevant authority to renovate the Keibung Bailey Bridge and highlighting the improving weather conditions, urged for resumption of the construction on Keibung Bailey Bridge.
