Imphal, July 11 2009:
This would definitely sound strange.
The diversion bridge constructed by PWD along the road from Yairipok Chandrakhong to Kasom Khullen is as small as a culvert.
After a visit to Kasom Khullen in December last year, Works Minister K Ranjit released Rs 30 lakhs in February this year to improve the 35 kms long road from Yairipok Chandrakhong to Kasom Khullen as an all-weather road.
Development work of the road started in February itself.

But Works Commissioner Ram Muivah was shocked to see the condition of the road and the newly constructed diversion bridge as he went to Hongbei village to inaugurate a wind-solar hybrid power project there.
It is likely that the Works Commissioner may file a detailed report about the condition of the road for submission to the Government.
The diversion bridge was built at the cost of Rs 10 lakhs to divert traffic at the point so that a proper bridge can be built along the road.
The diversion bridge which is yet to be completed is too small.
Any observer would know the approximate amount that would be needed to build it.
Except for stone chips laid out in some sections of the road, there was no sign to claim that the road was repaired or being repaired.
As such, there very little or no improvement in the condition of the road.
The road development work was allotted to three contractors.
Notably, there is a plan to make a highway connecting Rengpang in Tamenglong district to Kasom Khullen via Bishnupur district headquarters and Mayang Imphal with funding from Asian Development Bank.
