Dilapidated Senapati NH: Drivers’ unions repair road

Newmai News Network Senapati | July 24   Even as the PWD minister and the PWD highway division officials had inspected the poor road condition of NH-2 in Senapati district section last week, which is considered the lifeline of Manipur, the worsening road condition has compelled the Surface Transport Hills Area Drivers’ Welfare Union (STHADWU) and Senapati District Drivers’ Welfare Union (SDDWU) to repair the road on their own.  

According to the two association secretaries, in the wake of dilapidated NH-2 road condition, the Surface Transport Hills Area Drivers’ Welfare Union and Senapati District Drivers’ Welfare Union took a joint effort of repairing road between Chakumei and Tadubi along the NH-2 stretch. The road above the STHADWU office has deteriorated in the past few days due to continuous downpour.   Due to poor road condition, three Imphal bound trucks ferrying essential goods met with accidents few days ago. As such, the two drivers’ unions initiated a one day road repairing in which A. Kapani, ADC member, Tadubi DCC provided free services of JCB and pebbles for maintaining work.   The two drivers’ unions have appealed to the department concerned to initiate necessary measures at the earliest. The unions have also noted that the repaired areas are marked as accident prone on NH-2.
