BJP team concludes inspection

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

IMPHAL, January 10: A BJP team led by the state unit president Chaoba Thouojam has concluded the inspection of the repairing works being undertaken by the BRTF along NH 37 that connects Imphal with Assam by the 222 km mountain road. The team was not satisfied with the so–called repairing works engaging about ten labourers. All these decades the Congress ministry has not been supervising the repairing works. In view of the horrible road condition, the drivers have been using the NH 102 which is fraught with “check gates” and unmarked gates where state and non–state actors extort illegal taxes. Improvement of the NH 37 is included in the work programme of the BJP government in the first 100 days. Thouojam has promised to bring the shoddy goings to the notice of the PMO. It remains to be seen whether the union government pulls up the BRTF officials. Meanwhile, talking to people at Jiribam, the shanty border town, Thouojam said that if the party comes to power, Jiribam will be upgraded to a full–fledged district. This has been the aspiration of the people of Jiribam which is a sub division of the Imphal East district.
