The Rongmei Naga Students Organisation Manipur (RNSOM) on Monday appealed to the National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) to focus on quality work on NH-37 which is the 2nd lifeline of Manipur.
The RNSOM appealed the same to closely monitor the work considering the topography of the areas and maintain the angle of slope gradient while constructing the highway.
A release issued by RNSOM on Monday stated that 70 per cent of the NH-37 is in good shape while the rest need special attention because of the way it was built by sub contractors.
It stated that “the reason for speedy deterioration of NH-37 is because of the way it was built. It should be built in such a way that there is no stagnant water in the road and that water runs directly to the drain.”
RNSOM inspected the NH-37 Imphal – Jiribam on Monday prior to the official inauguration of the historic Makru Bridge along NH-37 by union minister Nitin Gadkari with chief minister N Biren which was scheduled on July 8, it added.
The visiting team also met the officials of the construction company Bharat Infra Projects Limited (BIPL) during the inspection and assured every support to every development projects taken by them, it stated.
The release further stated that RNSOM is satisfied with the progress of the ongoing Irang and Barak Bridge construction and expressed their gratitude for every development especially the mentioned bridges along NH-37 under the present government.
