Imphal, July 25 2010:
While pompous events are being held annually to mark India's Independence Day celebration and the nation itself has made significant strides toward development, for people of Kasom khullen it is still the need for basic infrastructure that had been the top priority for the last 63 years of india's sovereign status.
Apart from absolute absence of development, Kasom Khullen, so far, had been in the news for all the wrong reasons from burning down of institutions in the sub-divisional headquarters to protest alleged indifferent attitude of the Government and the brutal murder of SDO Dr Th Kishan and his two sub-ordinate staff, within a five year period.

For many in the sub-division, ability to access to the State capital is considered the highest satisfaction but pitiable condition of the road frequently impedes the aspiration inspite of the fact that it is located only about 65 kilometres from here.
Despite its location in Ukhrul district, passage to Kasom Khullen sub-divisional headquarters consumes the least time when travelled through Yairipok Mayai Keithel in Thoubal district.
Shortness in distance do not, however, mean comfortably reaching the destination for travellers have to negotiate sharp turns and curves that too in slushy conditions during monsoon seasons.
The problem that begins from the tiny Yairipok market-place only ends when one reaches home for there is hardly any section of the road which is black-topped.
One gets confronted with the worst case scenario soon after leaving the last valley pocket and the problem compounds as an ongoing road widening work for about a length of seven kilometres has virtually reduced the stretch to mud and slush.
