LAMKA, August 3: The Churachandpur-Imphal Taxi Owners’ Society (CITOS) has reacted harshly against the 24 hour Tiddim Road bandh called by the JAC of the Bus Owners’ Association.
In a statement, the CITOS secretary has said the bandh was uncalled for and it will only affect the commuters.
It said CITOS is a public oriented utility service provider and works only for the convenience of the people particularly along the Tiddim Road.
BOA’s demand for CITOS president to be put in jail is unacceptable and the demand is the brainchild of BOA secretary BD Sharma of BOA, it said and continued that BD Sharma’s aim is to exclusively control transportation service along the Tiddim Road.
The arrest of the CITOS president is the plan and handiwork of BD Sharma, it further alleged stating that the president is a law abiding citizen with no criminal records.

IMPHAL, July 24: The ongoing road widening work taken up from Keishampat Junction to Malom along the Tiddim Road has been taken up considering the future generations.
Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said in reply to a calling attention motion moved by Keishamthong MLA L Ibomcha Singh.
He was filling in for the Works minister.
The Keishamthong MLA had raised concern that in the process of widening Tiddim Road, efforts have been made to acquire land which has already been demarcated and acquired by the government.
Replying to the motion, the Chief Minister said that since the airport is located along the road, people have also come to know of the road as the Airport Road and there is no possibility of shifting the airport to another location.
At the same time there is also no possibility of constructing long flyovers along the road to provide diversion to the vehicles, and as such it has become necessary to widen the road, he said.
People of Bishnupur and Churchandpur are the only people who would come from the southern direction of the road, however the number of people who use the road to reach the airport passing through keishampat are the people of the remaining seven districts of the State, the Chief Minister said.
Preparation for the widening of the road had begun from 2008-09, and the road has been widened 38 metre in total and 19 metre on each side from the road median, the Chief Minister told the House and added that earlier the government had intended to widen it to 45 metre.
He continued that the government had received wholesome support and co-operation from the people inhabiting along the road.
The Chief Minister said that, the government had intended to widen the highway stretch from Singjamei to Canchipur to 45 metres, but could acquire the desired space.
The space could be acquired only from MU to Lilong, he added.
The colours red and green are not use to make two markings for the widening of the Tiddim Road, however, there may be differences of about a foot or half a foot along the widened portion, he continued.
Efforts are on to complete the road widening work soon and if anyone is yet to received compensation for the land acquisition, it will soon be looked at, Chief Minister Ibobi continued.
An alternative arrangement is also being looked for those vendors whose spot at the market shed of Kwakeithel bazar have been affected by the road widening process, he said.

Corresponding to the growth in economy, the number of vehicles in Manipur is increasing by the day and hence road safety is becoming a matter of grave concern. Road accident of any sort is now a regular happening somewhere or the other. The latest is the tragic accident in which some people including Thangminlal Mate, a young student leader got killed when the Winger in which he was traveling collided with a bus along Tiddim Road on Jan. 11th.
I hereby put forth few points:
First, Imphal-Ccpur road is one of the busiest State highways and thanks to the smooth surface, vehicles plying along the route are driven fast. Unfortunately, most road accidents are due to this fast driving. The question here is whether saving 10-15 minutes traveling time is more important or securing the safety of the passengers is. A speed of 60 km/hr should be kept the upper limit.
Second, to cope with the increasing number of vehicles, roads should be widened. Besides, along busy roads like Imphal-Ccpur and Imphal-Moreh among others, road divider should be made to avoid collision.
Third, it is not uncommon to see many drivers lacking traffic rules. Awareness campaign should be made to make the drivers more traffic sensitive. Issuing of driving licenses without verifying the applicants should be done away with.
Fourth, to make laws more effective, rash and negligent drivers should be punished severely.
Finally, to face unforeseen events, insurance coverage should be made mandatory for all vehicles. In case of any mishap, insurance companies will take care of the losses incurred. Uninsured and unregistered vehicles should not be kept at the mercy of cops whose thirst could not be quenched.
These are few points if fully implemented will solve or at least drastically reduce the menace of road accidents. If these things are not in the minds of the authorities concerned, student bodies and responsible organizations should wake the authorities up.
