DIMAPUR, JUNE 19 (MExN): The Mimi village council (MVC) today expressed disappointment at the deplorable road condition in their area and said that the area has been neglected and abandoned by the concerned department for many years, thus causing immense hardship to commuters and the public.
A press note from the MVC Chairman and VDB Secretary informed that 7 neighboring villages have been totally cut off by heavy landslide which occurred between Khongjiri and Mimi village under Kiphire district due to heavy rainfall on May 30. This road serves as the main life line of transportation for the people in the area.
The MVC informed that the concerned road was constructed by the BRO in 1992 and that since 1997 the road has been left “unattended/abandoned.” The villagers have been forced to maintain the roads themselves without any assistance from the concerned department, it added.
The MVC therefore appealed to the PWD Department to take appropriate measures on priority basis at the earliest for the welfare of the public.
It meanwhile informed that neighboring villages are trying to clear the road with the help of donations from among themselves and sought assistance for the same from well wishers.
