Imphal, April 22:
The Zeliangrong Union of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland (ZU-AMN) has expressed consternation against the disturbances meted out to the construction agencies along the Khangsang-Tamenglong road by some elements.
Following this development the apex Zeliangrong body has fervently appealed to the elements concerned not to disturb the development work being taken up in the said area, reports NNN.
Given the situation where the people in Tamenglong district have been facing immense hardships for decades, the ZU-AMN said that better means of transport and communication will reduce the plight of the general public in the district to a certain extent.
General Secretary of the Zeliangrong Union of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland Kalotdi Kamei informed NNN this evening that the Khongsang-Tamenglong road is the life-line of the district for majority of the people.
The ZU-AMN then stated that after having had noticed the hardship faced by the people in the district Governor of Manipur Dr SS Sidhu had initiated the handling of the said road to the BRTF last year in which the work agency has started the work few months ago.
With this the ZU-AMN appealed that no organisations/individuals serve any monetary demands on the work agency for having had taken up the job.
The Zeliangrong body then said that Tamenglong District is a nature-paradise but owing to the bad road system and poor communication facilities things are dashed at the bottom for worse.
The union on humanitarian ground entreat everyone to extend helping hands in making the district progress and developed.
