Govt inspects road repair works in Senapati district

In Manipur, the civil organisations based in Senapati district have inspected the ongoing repairing works along National Highway 2 from the Manipur-Nagaland border at Mao Gate to Senapati district headquarters on November 17. The civil authorities witnessed that considerable progress has been made.

Three days after inspection and assurance made by the Manipur Works Minister Kh Ratan to resume repairing works along the National Highway-2 between Mao Gate in the Manipur-Nagaland border and Senapati district headquarters in view of the ASEAN Car rally, a joint team of civil organizations including Naga Peoples' Organisation (NPO), Senapati District Students Association (SDSA) and Mao Council conducted a surprise inspection of the ongoing works.

According to SDSA president LR John, the team made a physical inspection near Mao-Gate which has begun the black-topping works. They also witnessed some considerable works being implemented in other parts of the highway which are yet to be carpeted.

It may be noted that the Mao to Tadubi stretch has been the worst portion with just boulders making up the highly acclaimed life line of Manipur.

The recent developmental works on NH-2 has come as a surprise and at the same time a much anticipated move of the State Government which the people of the district have been demanding for many years now.
