Retaining wall constructed along Imphal River at Khongnang Pheidekpi near Friend’s Union Club is becoming vulnerable as the construction has been pending for the last eight months.
It is said that the contract for the construction of the retaining wall is done by a brother of Minister Awangbow Newmai; however, for the last eight months the construction has stopped before its completion.
Locals of the area made several complaints to local MLA Karam Shyam and even to the concerned authorities with an apprehension that due to the incompleteness of the said retaining wall the locality might face severe problems with the coming of monsoon season.
Despite several complaints made, no positive steps for completion of the construction is made till date.
The locals of the area stated that even the local MLA is not able to take necessary steps and alleged that the contractor might be the brother of minister Awangbow Newmai.
Seeking the attention of the government and concerned authorities, the locals said that the said retaining wall is becoming vulnerable and urged for its completion before the monsoon sets in.
