Imphal, January 02 2010:
Setting an example to others, villagers of Achanbigei have taken up the initiative of developing the around 2 kms long road stretch from Khabam Maning Leikai to Kontha Achanbigei Awang Leikai which has been laying neglected by the Government for the last many years.
Under the banner of KonthaAchanbigei Development Committee, the villagers contributed money and other essential goods for organising a social service camp since December 14 last to develop the condition of the deplorable road stretch.
The road stretch has now been developed and expanded upto 30 feet from its earlier existing condition which has been recognised as the Other District Road (ODR) by the Pubic Works Department of the State Government.
The 18-day long social service camp concluded formally along with a function at the office premises of KYSDO, Achanbigei Mayai Leikai on December 31 last with Adhyaksha of Imphal East Zilla Parishad P Bimola as chief guest, president of Achanbigei Development Committee retired headmaster N Samer as functional president and Pradhan of Kontha Khabam Gram Panchayat Y Noren as guest of honour.
