Imphal, September 13, 2010:
the Thadou Students' Association (TSA), Chandel district has expressed strong disapproval of the repairing works presently being taken up from Pallel to Moreh section of the NH 39 by some contractors.
Zammang Haokip, General Secretary, TSA, Chandel district in a press release said that a team of the TSA inspected the repairing works, and found that the work undertaken by the contractors is sub-standard.
The contractors are bound to use mini hot-mix plant for spraying liquid bitumen, but it was never used.
Now the condition of a major portion of the completed section has become deplorable due to poor quality of the work.
The TSA appealed to the engineers concerned of Chandel PWD division and contractors to immediately look into the matter as a special case and continue the work as per the terms and condition of the work order and estimates within September.
If the authority fails to fulfill the demand of the TSA within this month, the Association will be compelled to launch any form of democratic agitations and the government should be responsible for all consequences, the TSA warned.
