Imphal, May 31: Alleging that both incumbent local MLA, Sanasam Bira Singh and his predecessor Ninghtoujam Mangi Singh are equally responsible for “pathetic road” conditions in Kumbi Assembly Constituency under Bishnupur district, locals said that the duo must be equally responsible for any road accident in the area as they failed to keep the important roads in good shapes during their respective tenure.
Due complete ignorance during their respective tenures, Kumbi Assembly Constituency has brought to the map of most pathetic road condition in the state. None of the elected legislatures heeds to the genuine demands of locals to repair the roads for the last 15 years, Wahengbam Diamond Meitei, a resident of Kumbi Bazar Leikai, decried while talking with a representative of Imphal Times.
The condition of above 10km-long Kumbi Uchanmakhong to Wangoo stretch- the most important stretch for the people of the area that passes through Terakhunou, Kumbi, Terakhong, Naodakhong, Sagang and adjoining other villages, he said, is in a pitiable situation due to presence of large number of big potholes for almost every meter along the road.
The condition of the road worsens then the early times’ San Keirap/ San Lambi (path dedicated for animals) and wonder that such a wretched road condition would exist in the entire world, he lamented.
While interacting with a student of Kumbi College, Wahengbam Sadam Singh of Kumbi Mayai Leikai, he told this Daily that the condition of the road and situation face by the people could not be explain in words and it is in such a bad shape that normally it takes around 45-50 minutes while travelling 43km-long Imphal to Moirang road by private passenger vehicles but the same vehicle took almost the same timing for travelling only 12km distance from Moirang to Kumbi.
Apart from inconveniences caused due to poor condition of the road, the life of all the people especially those who frequently plied along the stretch for office, business and education are in danger, he added.
While, Loitongbam Ingo Singh of Wangoo Naodakhong, who runs a passenger service vehicle said that Associations of Auto rickshaw and Winger/Magic passenger vehicle services have repeatedly urged the incumbent MLA, Bira to look into the situations being confronted on daily basis by common people due to the prevailing road conditions, however nothing positive has come up so far.
All possible means of protest like bandh, general strike, sit-in-protest and submission of memorandums through local clubs were done but all remained futile, only the God will save the people of Kumbi Assembly Constituency from road fatalities.
