Manipur: NH 39 in pathetic condition

Imphal, Sep 4: Chairman of the Tadubi Town Committee at Senapati district S Ashikhoh said here today that National Highway 39, the life line of Manipur, was in a ''pathetic condition''.

''The highway has never been repaired properly and the stretch from Senapati district to Imphal sector is full of potholes,'' he said.

The chairman alleged that the Senapati Drivers Welfare Union at Tadubi had urged the state government to repair the highway but nothing was done.

The All Naga Students Association Manipur (ANSAM) and the Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) had also imposed a 24-hour bandh on August 17 to protest the delay in repairing the highway.
