Imphal. April 9 NNN: The Union Minister of State for Defence, Dr. MM Pallam Raju will be inaugurating the newly constructed road at Tamenglong.
The minister who will be accompanied by colonel DPK Pillai will visit Tamenglong on April 10 at 12 am to inaugurate the newly constructed road at Tamenglong by the Army as also other projects, according to PRO (Defence).
It is reported that the Union minister of State for Defence will first visit the border town Moreh before meeting the governor and the chief minister of the state. He will then visit Tamenglong to have a first hand account of the progress made in the work along the National Highway 37, which is under the Border Road Organisation (BRO).
The National Highway 37 (formerly NH-53) connecting Manipur with Assam and other parts of the country, often described as a second life line of Manipur, has been in the news for its deplorable condition for being muddy in summer and dusty in winter. It is through this road that most of the supplies of the state reach the capital Imphal, besides the National Highway 36 which also connects Imphal with Assam and other states through Nagaland.
It may be mentioned that though the highway passing through Dimapur in Nagaland is in a better shape
than the highway passing through Tamenglong district in Manipur, transporters prefer to face the hardship of taking the highway passing through Tamenglong in order to avoid extortion and demands if they pass through Nagaland.
It may also be mentioned that truck owners of Manipur has submitted a memorandum along with a visual recording of the present condition of the National Highway 37 to the Prime Minister of India requesting to expedite the black topping work undertaken by BRO before the rainy season sets in.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the chief minister of Manipur met the governor for nearly one hour on Monday. Though the reason for the visit of the chief minister is not definitely known, it is reportedly suspected to be in connection with matter concerning the expansion of the minister and the visit of the Union minister of state for defence.
