IMPHAL, January 7: The Awang Sekmai Nongthonband Youth Club called a press conference today in connection with its road block imposed along the road connecting National Highway no 2 with the Sekmai Gas Bottling Plant since January 1 decrying the government`\u2122s failure to act on its assurance to repair the road.<\/p>\n
The road block had resulted in around 80 loaded gas bullets remaining stranded inside the LPG bottling plant.<\/p>\n
The agitation will continue until the road is repaired, the club`\u2122s spokesperson told media persons.<\/p>\n
He said the road has been blocked for a week till today, however, the government continues to remain silent even though it was taken up only after the government to act on its assurance.<\/p>\n
He continued that last May, both the Chief Minister and the local MLA had assured to look into their demand, which is yet to be fulfilled.<\/p>\n
The government`\u2122s silence on the issue is in total disregard of the public`\u2122s emotions, he continued.<\/p>\n
The club members also declared that they will never meet government officials and representatives until the road repairing work is started.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister and the local MLA should bear all responsibilities for any untoward incident arising out of the issue, they warned<\/p>\n\n
