Trucks are lying scattered here and there as if there is no space for parking giant sized vehicles. You will find everywhere on the main roads of Imphal trucks standing still and drivers looking for the space to park the vehicles. Why it happens? The roads at Sangaiparou area where the FCS godown is located have not been properly repaired for the last several years. Locals have not allowed entry of big vehicles at the area. A pathetic scene is seen here every day. Of dusts filling the area and the locals not finding enough space even for movement as vehicles continue to occupy the area longer than necessary. Local people do not have any complain as long as the road is properly maintained. What is happening here is vehicles are dumped without maintaining the roads. It is time concerned authority pay serious attention and take steps for early repairing of the road. The road requires special treatment as trucks loaded with tons of items ply on this road daily for loading and unloading at the FCS godown. The matter should receive the attention of the highest authority of the land. Delay in taking action will cause lots of problem. Similarly too many roads in Imphal need inspection by the competent authority. Tera Loukrakpam Leikai at Sagolband side is also another road which has been kept neglected by the Government. If traffic congestion at the bazaar areas like Kanglapat roads is to be reduced the ring roads at the outskirt areas need to be developed. New Chekkon area in Imphal East can be developed as main market centre to reduce traffic congestion at Khwairamband bazaar areas. But there is nothing at this area. Roads are too narrow. Even for photo enlargement one has to go to Khwairamband bazaar. The thrust must be paid to expansion of road at this area so that VIPs can be asked to use this road instead of driving on the busy Kanglapat road. We have hump raisings in the middle of the road. The real purpose of this raising is to bifurcate the road to avoid head on collision between two incoming vehicles. But frequent cutting at different areas have rendered the real purpose meaningless. Frequent accidents have occurred at the areas where there is gaping holes. At Uripok near Polem Leikai every day one or two accidents happen and many had died at this area. The culprit is the wide opening of median allowing vehicles from all sides to move to any direction. This median in the middle must be connected. Accidents that occur every day will be checked by connecting the median. At Mantripukhri side the median stretches far as a result no accident happens at this side. But at Uripok median is cut at the head of every Leikai. It is said a VIP used his escort personnel in cutting the median when he found that his Leikai missed the privilege of having entry point. What he did not know is that the median road is for avoiding accident at the area. There should be enough funds for development of roads in the state capital. These dusts are suffocating. Don’t you see it?
