Imphal, March 21: Zeliangrong Union of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland (ZU-AMN) has said that no one should disturb the smooth working of the IT Road saying that the road is the lifeline of various communities of the areas.

Zeliangrong Union president Dinkambui said that IT Road is one of the oldest road in Manipur which had been constructed in the 1950s but during all these years the road remained neglected but it was the Zeliangrong Students Union of Tamei Area and the Kuki Students Organisation, Sardar Hills who formed the IT Road Development Committee and compelled the Manipur Government to do something good with regard to the condition of the road.

The Zeliangrong apex body of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland appealed to all undeground organisations including belonging the Nagas, Meiteis and the Kukis and any other UG groups not to interfere in the smooth working of the repairing work of the IT Road.

The Zeliangrong apex body particularly appealed to the Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) militants not to disturb the repairing works of the IT Road.

ZU-AMN pledged to take action against any elements who try to disturb the hard earned government attention along the IT Road which was brought by IT Road Development Committee, KSO of Sardar Hills and the ZSU of Tamei Area.

The Zeliangrong body rather appeal in good faith to all the communities, organisations and individuals who are depending on the IT Road to extend their co-operations and support to the IT Road Development Committee, KSO, Sardar Hills and the Zeliangrong Students Union of Tamei Area who have initiated and brought the government attention on the IT Road.
