The All Hunphun Tang Association AHTA on Sunday voiced their long dissatisfaction over the non implementation of the restoration and repairing work for the 11.6 km stretch which comes under NH-102A in Ukhrul, and resolved to launch intense agitation should concerned authorities fail to heed their demands.

President of AHTA Qr Chonmi Raleng told media persons that the stretch, which is the main lifeline of Ukhrul town, have been neglected for far too long while “enjoying district headquarters tag just in name only.” “Given the step motherly attitude meted out towards the populace of the localities, we have decided to launch intense agitations if no actions are taken up to fulfill our demands within the given deadline,” he warned.
