Jiribam, Nov 20:
The Western gate of Manipur which was a long awaited dream for the people of Manipur still remained incomplete from its roofing even after it was inaugurated with the grand way at Jiribam District.
The gate was also known as “Nongshaba Sanathong” which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Manipur on 23rd November 2021 on his visit to Jiribam District.
The gate is located on the State westernmost boundary, adjoining the Cachar District of Assam which shows the image of the State, while any visitors enter the State through the Jiribam gateway.
However, the irony was that the gate was inaugurated but the present scenario of its roofing seems to be incomplete works. The installation of G.I sheet at the roofing of the western gate seems to be split out at one end which marks the danger if it falls down on the busy road of the market areas of Jiribam.
It was learnt from reliable sources that the roofing of the gate remained incomplete due to some inconvenience between authority concerns.
But the main concern for the people of Jiribam is that if the roofing G.I Sheet falls down on the road and unexpectedly injures any passerby who will be responsible for that whether the contractor or the government of Manipur.
It may be noted that the foundation stone was laid on December 20, 1999 by the then Chief Minister of Manipur Wahengbam Nipamacha.
