The need of the hour is repairing

Minuthong bridge connecting Imphal East and West constructed over Imphal river near North AOC has shown its aging status. Iron rods have protruded in the middle of the bridge and if it is kept neglected without filling up the broken portion the bridge may collapse after a few years. It is time the concerned authority sends out somebody to see for themselves what has happened at the said bridge. Exposed iron rod gathers rust. And rusted iron cannot withstand the pressure given by heavy vehicles. By spending a few hundreds of rupees and using a bag of cement four bags of sand and eight bags of crushed stones the bridge can be repaired. If kept neglected the concerned department will spend to the tune of crores of rupees in the construction of another bridge of the same length and breadth. According to the CPWD estimation the Surface and Transport Ministry Government of India spends about Rs 100 crore in the construction of one kilometre long fly over bridge. Minuthong Bridge is a very important bridge. It cannot be kept neglected as is being done by not repairing the broken portion. Similarly too many bridges of culvert size, which were constructed in the past at different areas of the state have also showed iron rods as the layer has been eroded after prolonged use. These culverts too need to be repaired. Construction is really costly. Repairing is less expensive. Our Government is very poor, everyone knows that. So it should think of taking up smaller projects instead of taking up giant sized projects, which stand like big rocks without being used. Public money cannot be wasted by taking up useless projects. All these roads passing through the state capital can be kept in tip top condition by filling up the pot holes. Amazingly the concerned department has one habbit of adding WBM in repairing roads. In whose interest WBM is added to the already high road. Stop this WBM culture. It is wastage of money. The money spent in taking up WBM can be used in buying bitumen and proper application of bitumen will improve quality of road repairing done here and there. When lesser quantity of bitumen is used the added portions like sand and stones can be rolled up like mat. We had seen that on TV and newspapers. If you have little amount use it in taking up small work. Cut the coat out of cloth. Construction season needs to be used but not in taking up useless projects. The thrust should be given in the completion of the ongoing work. It is time the concerned department flank out its engineers to survey the area, which can be repaired by spending little amount. The roads which require major repairing also needs to be identified. Having seen the condition of the roads passing through various parts of the state one can make the conclusion that almost all these roads can be put in tip top condition by spending some crores of rupees. Fill up the pot holes and feel the delightment of presenting usable roads to the people of the state.
