The newly formed government led by Chief Minister Y. Khemchand has initiated major infrastructure development works across the state despite unwarranted recent political developments in the state, including the imposition of President’s Rule. As part of this effort, a sum of ₹5 crore has been allocated to each constituency to improve road connectivity and related infrastructure.
Under this initiative, newly constructed roads using paver block technology near the Multipurpose Hall at Kakching Mayai Leikai were inspected on Wednesday by Kakching Constituency MLA M. Rameshwar.
During the inspection, MLA Rameshwar stated that the new government under the leadership of Yumnam Khemchand is giving top priority to road development and is committed to ensuring quality and durability in all projects. He mentioned that roads constructed using modern methods are expected to last between 7 and 10 years. Areas prone to waterlogging are being developed using paver block technology for better durability, while roads extending up to 600 meters are being upgraded with machine-based blacktopping, the MLA said.
He further highlighted that efforts are also underway to improve water supply for the people of Kakching. Under the AMRUT 2.0 scheme, pipeline installation work has already begun to ensure adequate water supply. In areas where gravity-based water supply is not feasible, overhead tanks are being installed to provide sufficient water to residents.
Additionally, new road construction projects are being taken up in areas such as Irengband, Sora, and Pallel under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). A project worth ₹7 crore has also been submitted to the Central Government under the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF).
MLA Rameshwar emphasized that ahead of the upcoming elections, efforts are being made to maximize development across Manipur, with special focus on Kakching Constituency. He appealed to the public to extend cooperation so that development works can be carried out efficiently for the benefit of all.
Meanwhile, a local resident, Yengkhom Randhoni, expressed happiness over the newly constructed road, stating that the earlier road condition was poor and prone to accidents. She appreciated the initiative taken by the MLA and urged that similar development works be extended to other localities for the welfare of the people.
